Nanono, who is a former Chairman All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN) in Kano state, also urged president Buhari to look into the education sector.
“We have seen how the agricultural sector received the needed support, right now our state is one of the rice producing states that is proud of president Buhari administration.

He said the people of Kano State would continue to support the Federal Government under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari in order to provide the much needed development.
