The Northern Youth Frontiers (NYC) has commended Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf after Kano State emerged as the overall best-performing state in the 2025 National Examinations Council (NECO) examinations, describing the feat as a landmark success for education in Nigeria.
The group noted that the interventions are now yielding results, as evident in Kano’s exceptional NECO performance.
In a statement issued by its National Coordinator, Sama Musa, the group said the outstanding performance reflects both the brilliance of Kano students and the transformative leadership of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
Musa said: “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 educational sector and ensuring that our students receive the quality education they deserve.
“These reforms have included increased funding for schools, the establishment of modern educational facilities, and the provision of essential teaching resources. The fruits of these investments are now evident in the exceptional performance of our students in the NECO examinations.
“It is important to recognize that this success story is not solely the result of governmental initiatives. It is a collective effort that involves the unwavering dedication of teachers, the support of parents, and the hard work 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. The support from parents has been equally commendable, as they have invested their time and resources to create a conducive environment for learning at home.
“The collaborative efforts of school administrators have also played a crucial role in fostering an atmosphere of excellence and accountability within our schools.”
Musa further emphasized that the achievement is not solely due to government efforts but also a product of collaboration across all stakeholders in the education sector.
The group, however, reserved its highest praise for Kano’s students, describing them as “the shining stars of today.”
He added, “Above all, we must celebrate the brilliant students of Kano State, 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, and they serve as a powerful reminder of what can be accomplished when young minds are nurtured and empowered. These students are not just the leaders of tomorrow; they are the shining stars of today, proving that with.”
