What are the remarkable achievements of Ahmed Ibrahim Yakasai's five years in office as the Honourable Commissioner in the Kano State Ministry of Commerce, Industry, Cooperative and Tourism? The first Kano State economic Summit, which was held under the auspices of his office, is still very green in the mind of the stakeholders.

In addition to the fact that he is a man that does not believe in the hide and seeks game where serious issues that affect people are concerned, he is also a man that works hard for the benefit of the people. On resumption of office in this month, the workaholic, dedicated but jovial Ahmed Yakasai did not leave any one in doubt regarding his avowed determination not to disappoint the governor that reposed trust in him. He was appointed to this position by the people's Governor of the State, Malam (Dr) Ibrahim Shekarau, Sardaunan Kano in September 2005.
