Kano govt recruits 1,038 agricultural extension workers
Gov. Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State on Monday presented employment letters to 1,038 successful candidates in agriculture-related fields to strengthen the sector and reduce unemployment.
The event, held at the Government House in Kano, drew senior government officials, traditional rulers, and beneficiaries from all 44 local government areas of the state.
Yusuf reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to revitalising agriculture and restoring its past importance in the state’s economy.
“This administration is committed to restoring the lost glory of agriculture in Kano,” the governor said.
He described the recruitment as a fulfilled promise to create jobs, empower residents, and build sustainable food security for the future.
Yusuf said the recruits formed a vibrant new team of agricultural extension workers to be deployed to agencies and field units across the state.
He said their tasks would include promoting modern farming techniques, agro-processing, and community-driven agricultural initiatives.
The governor added that irrigation systems were being expanded across key zones, with efforts underway to upgrade the infrastructure.

She advised them to follow civil service rules and maintain professional conduct at all times.
“You must avoid absenteeism, lateness, and all forms of corruption,” she cautioned the recruits.
Garko said the government would keep launching programmes to empower youths and improve human capital development.
Some of the new employees told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that they were grateful and pledged to serve with dedication.
