Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has unveiled plans to establish a state-owned commercial airline to create employment opportunities for indigenes who have completed their professional pilot training.
The governor disclosed this during the 40th Executive Council Meeting held at the Government House, Kano, where he received multiple awards, including an honour from the Kano State Pilot Association in recognition of his commitment to supporting members of the association to complete their aviation training.
The development was contained in a statement issued on Thursday by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Dawakin-Tofa.
Speaking at the meeting, Yusuf said the proposed Kano Airline was expected to commence operations within the next year.
