In a heart-warming gesture, Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has awarded automatic employment to Hassana Minjibir, a visually impaired graduate of Bayero University, Kano, under the special education programme.
In a statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Tofa on Tuesday, Yusuf expressed his admiration for Minjibir’s perseverance and commitment to achieving her goals despite her physical challenge.
Minjibir’s unwavering determination and resilience in pursuing a career for self-reliance stole the spotlight at a women’s empowerment program, catching the governor’s attention in the process.
“As a mark of his compassion and recognition of her tenacity, His Excellency has not only offered her immediate employment but also promised to appoint her to the board of the Persons with Disabilities Commission, which will soon be established in the state”, the statement said.
The governor directed the Kano State Head of Service to expedite the process of Minjibir’s employment in the state civil service without delay.
The statement noted that the gesture underscores the governor’s dedication to promoting inclusivity and empowering individuals with special needs to achieve their potential.
