The Kano State House of Assembly has surprised many by electing Rt Hon Speaker House of Assembly Kano State, Hon Jibrin Ismail Falgore, under the New Nigeria Peoples Party. This marks a significant moment as it is the first time since the return of democratic governance in 1999 that such a decision has been made.

Falgore has proven himself to be an outstanding individual among his peers and is currently being celebrated, honoured, and admired by the members of the Kano State House of Assembly and the people of Kano State. This is largely due to his humility and generosity, which have made a lasting impression on those around him.

Falgore is known for his approachability and ability to make others feel comfortable in his presence. This has endeared him to the people he represents.

As a team player, he values collaboration and prioritizes the success of his colleagues over personal recognition. He remains calm and patient in challenging situations, such as the recent verdict by the Supreme Court regarding the Executive Governor of Kano State, Engineer Abba Kabir Yusuf and his political party, NNPP.

His constituents view him as genuine and authentic, appreciating his willingness to engage with them. Falgore does not seek constant validation and understands the harm of holding onto grudges.

Falgore’s listening skills and ability to celebrate others have earned him admiration among his political associates.

These qualities, along with many others, set him apart from his contemporaries in the political realm and have established him as a leader in his local community,state and national.

His political ideology revolves around helping and representing his people, as well as developing policies that benefit not only his constituency but the entire nation of Nigeria.

His vast expertise and experience have made him the perfect fit for this important position. His commitment to accuracy and integrity during the election process instilled confidence in his abilities and his potential to have a significant impact on the Kano State Assembly and the state as a whole.

Falgore’s priority is to improve the lives of the people. His leadership stood out during the challenging period of the Supreme Court verdict. His humility, perseverance, and tenacity were evident before and after the verdict. He displayed courage and commitment, even in a devastating situation.

His unwavering dedication to the leadership styles of the Executive Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, and the Kano State House of Assembly is further exemplified by his focus on serving his constituents and putting the people of Kano State first.

While the Executive Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, rebuilds and heals the state, Falgore’s leadership in the State House of Assembly continues to provide a much-needed source of quality legislation and leadership qualities for the betterment of the people of Kano State.

The true mark of a person’s character is how they treat those who can’t do them any good and those who can’t fight back. Falgore, you have chosen kindness and have become a bridge builder to serve the people. We wish you a successful leadership tenure with outstanding performance.

A Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), Gender Awareness Trust (GAT) has commended women across Katsina communities for their contributions towards promoting peace and security.

The GAT’s State Coordinator, Muhammad Maifada, made the commendation on Friday during a sensitisation exercise at the palace of the District Head of Shinkafi, Abdurashid Abubakar.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the exercise was organised in collaboration with UK International Development, SPRING, and Tetra Tech International Development.

Maifada said that the sensitisation programme, which featured participation of about 13 community leaders, was part of activities to commemorate the 2026 International Women’s Day.

He noted that studies have shown the significant contributions women make in enhancing security within communities, particularly through the provision of vital information to security agencies and other relevant stakeholders.

Maifada further emphasised that parents and religious leaders also have a vital role to play, noting that they were close to the people and serve as permanent community leaders.

According to him, they are in a strategic position to help promote peace, guide the public on security measures, and inform citizens on appropriate channels for reporting issues in order to protect their communities.

He, therefore, called on members of the public to understand that everyone had a role to play in ensuring security and peace, stressing that each individual could contribute in different ways toward safeguarding their communities.

According to Maifada, GAT supported Women peace and security implementation committee members to carry out community sensitisation to inclusive peace-building.

Maifada further revealed that GAT also operates in Kaduna, while in Katsina State its activities cover Batagarawa, Kaita, and Katsina Local Government Areas.

“Among the key activities of the organisation is raising community awareness on the importance of women’s participation, particularly in matters relating to security and peace-building.

“The organisation is also advocating against Gender-Based Violence (GBV), a menace that affects women and children in the state,” the Coordinator said.

In his remarks, the District Head, who is also the Turaren Katsina, expressed gratitude to God for the choice of his district to host the celebration marking the International Women’s Day.

He also acknowledged the positive impact of the organisation’s activities within the community and pledged continued support and cooperation to ensure sustained peace and security across Katsina state.

Kano State Government says it is targeting the distribution of more than 3.5 million meals under its 2026 Ramadan feeding programme across the state.

The Commissioner for Religious Affairs and Chairman of the Ramadan Feeding Programme, Alhaji Ahmed Tijani, said this while inspecting designated cooking centres responsible for preparing and packaging meals for beneficiaries.

Tijani said the inspection was aimed at assessing hygiene conditions, quality of ingredients and the general cooking process at the centres.

According to him, the team focused on cooking facilities and packaging processes rather than distribution points.

“We visited some of the major contractors responsible for preparing large quantities of meals daily for the programme.

“One of the companies we inspected feeds about 25,000 people daily, while others also prepare between 13,000 and 25,000 meals each day,” he said.

He explained that the programme targets the preparation of about 115,000 meal packages daily throughout the 29 days of Ramadan.

The commissioner said the meals would be distributed across the eight metropolitan Local Government Areas of the state.

Tijani commended the contractors for maintaining good hygiene standards at the cooking centres.

“We inspected the kitchens, the environment and the packaging process to ensure that the food meets the required hygiene standards.

“We are satisfied with what we saw. The level of cleanliness and the quality of the food being prepared are commendable,” he said.

He added that government officials had intensified monitoring to ensure quality control throughout the programme.

According to him, the supervision has helped address earlier concerns about food quality recorded at the beginning of the exercise.

“For the past two weeks, we have been visiting different centres to monitor both the quantity and quality of meals being prepared,” he said.

Tijani also said the government had resolved cases where some individuals attempted to divert food meant for designated distribution centres.

He noted that the situation had been addressed in collaboration with local authorities, adding that such cases had reduced significantly.

The commissioner said the cooking centres were also complying with the dietary standards approved by the state government.

“We checked the ingredients being used, including cooking oil, seasoning and meat, and they meet the required standards,” he said.

Tijani described the 2026 Ramadan feeding programme as one of the most organised in the state, noting that the government would continue to monitor the exercise to ensure its success.
