    Following the reconstitution of the Governing Council of the Kano Polytechnic by His Excellency the Governor of Kano state, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf in which Engr. Buba Galadima emerged its chairman with some members, Engr. Dr Ibrahim Usman Aikawa and one other were also elected from the Polytechnic’s Academic Board to serve as members of the governing council as the law demands.         

    It was the congregation of the School’s Directors, HODs and Academic representatives to Polytechnic’s Academic Board (PAB) that participated and effected the election of the two representatives from (PAB) into the council. 

    Speaking shortly after the process, Comrade Aikawa thanked everybody who participated and also solicited for their prayers, support and guidance in the task ahead.  “May Allah guide and protect all of us in performing the duties shouldered”, he prayed. 

    “Your observations are always welcome, the door is open for all, May Allah reward you abundantly”, Dr Aikawa concluded.

    I was at the production unit of the Triumph Publishing Company, Kano but my keen interest in sports journalism made me to be sports writer and maintained a sports column called (Sports Eye) after my mentor Sani Muhammad Zaria transferred his service to New Nigeria newspapers in Kaduna. And when the government closed the Triumph in 2012, I was transfered to lectured DTP in the Department of Printing Technology of Kano State Polytechnic. And now that I retired, i used to visit the institution weekends for part-time lecturing.
