According to him, “We want to thank Mr. President for leaving Nigeria much better than he found it. This is indeed, what leadership is all about.
“It is pleasing to observe that out of the four projects been commissioned throughout the country today, three are situated in Kano State.
“Indeed, this is, what Muhammadu Buhari promised Nigerians in particular people of Kano State who had massively and consistently voted for him in the previous elections. These projects would move Kano to a higher level,

Earlier, the Controller-General, Nigerian Correctional Service, NCS, Halliru Nababa described the facility as a world-class Custodial Centre and first of its its kind in the country as well as adds to the rank of just a few of its kind on the African Continent.
“Today’s ceremony will go down well in history as an unparalleled feat and a milestone. This is because the project to be inaugurated by Mr. President, is the first of its kind in our country and adds to the rank of just a few of its kind on the African Continent.
“This gigantic facility is another clear manifestation of the golden footprints of the present government in the NCoS. No doubt, the Correctional Service now stands transformed and reenergized to answer its name anywhere, among its equals.
