Kano Students Back Tinubu and Abba for 2027 Elections

The Jagaba/Abba Students’ Mandate group has initiated its Campus Ambassadors Initiative across 25 tertiary institutions in Kano State to mobilize student support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf ahead of the 2027 general elections. Comrade Nafiu Yunusa, the convener, stated that the initiative aims to create a structured network among students to discuss and promote the educational achievements of both leaders.

The group cites significant accomplishments in the education sector, including the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), which processed over 1.6 million applications and disbursed over N322 billion to students as of August 2026. Other initiatives include investments in technical and vocational education, agreements with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), and infrastructure projects funded by the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund).

The group also supports Governor Abba for his educational interventions, including a state of emergency in education and substantial budget allocations for the sector.
