Wednesday, November 6, 2024 -Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has expressed gratitude for the release of 76 minors who were detained in connection with the #EndBadGovernance protest.

Buhari Special Hospital, where a medical team had been assigned to assess the
physical and mental health of the released children.
Governor Yusuf thanked President Bola Tinubu for his compassionate
intervention in securing the children’s freedom. "On learning of the
matter, I promptly directed the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice
to take charge of the case," Yusuf stated, emphasizing his commitment to
the welfare of the minors.
He also expressed appreciation for the parents’ patience and resilience
during the ordeal, commending them for their “fervent prayers and demonstrated
maturity” throughout the process. Yusuf assured the families that his
administration would make every effort to reunite the children with their
families and provide them with essential support, including opportunities to
engage in small-scale businesses.
Yusuf highlighted the importance of education, pledging that the state
government would ensure the minors return to school to build a better future
and contribute to the state’s development. He reiterated his administration’s
commitment to reintegrating the children and supporting them as they
reintegrate into society.
