MOST READ FOR NIGER STATE GOVERNOR (SO CALLED DR. MUAZU BABANGIDA) AND NIGERLIGHT. THE COMPARATIVE ACHIEVEMENTS IN POLITICAL LEADERSHIP IN KANO STATE (AUDU BAKO 1967 TO 1975 VS RABIU MUSA KWANKWASO 2011/2014) BY ABBATI BAKO,PSC, This comparative political leadership style analysis will be ongoing for sometimes on my page. The writing is well researched for the people of Kano State and the nation to judge for the achievements made or (in the making) by the current regime of Kwankwaso and the past 15 governors that governed Kano State. AUDU BAKOs ACHIEVEMENTS---1967 TO 1975 Alhaji Audu Bako has been described by those who were his disciples as a person who was very honest and dedicated to his duties, and is thus tagged a “visionary leader”, the “chief architect of Kano State” whose sense of service was beyond measure among his colleagues in the Military. “Alhaji Audu Bako was the one who laid the solid foundation for what Kano is today. During his term, he initiated successful implementation of the local government re-structuring beginning with the administrative headquarters, which was claimed to bring the government closer to the people”. It was the late Alhaji Audu Bako who, in spite of all odds, initiated the course of good urban planning especially Kano metropolitan which was followed with the construction of dual carriage ways, street lights, and feeder roads, construction of earth dams, remarkable improvement in agriculture especially irrigation scheme, recreations and tourism facilities. Also to his credit were the constructions of housing estate at Kundila, Zoo road, Gwammaja, and Ja’oji – along Gyadi-Gyadi, Zaria Road. Most construction of roads such as Ibrahim Taiwo road, State road, Murtala Muhammad Way, Ahmadu Bello Way, Audu Bako Way were constructed during his tenure and also places such as Gidan Murtala, Kano State High Court, Magwan water restaurant, Thomas College of Agriculture (Now Audu Bako College of Agriculture), Malam Kato Square, Africa House in Government house Kano, were all constructed during his eight years of leadership. Indeed, late governor Audu Bako has left numerous legacies which can hardly be forgotten in the history of Kano State. He was the first among equals and regarded as one of the most hard working Chief Executive whose efforts in the development of educational facilities, health care and human development will never be forgotten in many years to come. In appreciation of his meritorious service to the state, many places have been named after him such as Audu Bako Secretariat and Audu Bako Way. His contribution to the sports development will go in history which Kano State sportsmen and women will never forget. He was also a great influence in the establishment of the Water Resources and Engineering Construction Agency (WRECA) which is now one of the Dam Construction Companies in Nigeria.
