The Northern Youth Frontiers (NYC) has lauded Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf after the state emerged as the overall best-performing state in the 2025 National Examinations Council (NECO) results, describing the achievement as a landmark success for education in Nigeria.
In a statement issued by its National Coordinator, Sama Musa, the group said the performance highlights the brilliance of Kano students and the transformative leadership of Governor Yusuf.
“Under Governor Yusuf’s visionary guidance, Kano State has witnessed a renaissance in its educational landscape. His administration has implemented a series of practical and deliberate reforms aimed at revitalizing the sector and ensuring that students receive the quality education they deserve,” Musa said.
According to him, the governor’s reforms have included increased funding for schools, the establishment of modern educational facilities, and the provision of essential teaching resources.
He said the results of these investments are now evident in the exceptional performance of Kano students.
Musa stressed that the achievement is not solely a product of government policies but a collective effort involving the dedication of teachers, the support of parents, and the commitment of school administrators.
“Our teachers have gone above and beyond to inspire and guide their students, often working late hours to ensure that no child is left behind. Parents have also invested time and resources to create a conducive environment for learning at home, while school administrators have fostered a culture of excellence and accountability,” he noted.
He reserved special praise for Kano’s students, describing them as “the shining stars of today” who have demonstrated resilience, determination, and an unyielding pursuit of knowledge.
“Their achievements in the NECO examinations are a source of immense pride for all of us. They remind us of what can be accomplished when young minds are nurtured and empowered. These students are not just the leaders of tomorrow; they are proving themselves as the stars of today,” Musa said.
