YOSPIS acknowledges Kano State’s reputation as one of the safest states in Northern Nigeria, with fewer reported crimes, attributing the achievement to a friendly football match held in August 2023 between YOSPIS, the police, and Kano’s reformed youth group, known as “Yan Daba.”
The statement pointed out that, as a youth-led organization, YOSPIS prioritizes a peaceful and productive environment for Kano youths by organizing activities to foster positive relationships between young people and security agencies.
She said currently, YOSPIS is actively engaged in enlightening and mitigating topical youth challenges through the weekly radio program, “HASKEN MATASA,” reaching millions on radio and social media platforms.
Zainab seized the opportunity to appeal to Kano State Governor, Engineer Abba Kabir Yusuf, to fulfil his promises made to Kano’s repentant thugs, saying that continued support for them is crucial for lasting reform.
