Mustapha further stated that his decision was taken after careful reflection, while reaffirming his commitment to the development of young people and sports in Kano State, even outside government.
“As I resign, I pray that the youth of Kano State will continue to receive the attention and support they deserve. I hope for the best for our sports development programs and initiatives, and I am confident that they will flourish in the years to come,” the statement read.
“May Allah (SWT) continue to shower His blessings on our beloved Kano State. I wish the government and people of Kano State all the best.”
