Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has announced plans to create 63,360 jobs annually for youth in the garment industry across the state’s 44 local government areas.
He disclosed this while reopening the garment industry cluster in Kura LGA, which was established under Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s administration between 2011 and 2015.
