The Tarauni Youth Enlightenment Forum has reacted to the appointment of Alhaji Aminu Malesh as a board member of the Kano Pillars Football Club by the Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf.
In a statement issued to journalists in Kano, the head of the forum, Muzakkir Ibrahim, said the appointment reflects the governor’s acknowledgment of party members such as Alhaji Malesh.
According to Muzakkir, the forum “recalls with pride how Alhaji Aminu Malesh contributed immensely to the success of the NNPP in the 2023 general elections, especially in Tarauni Local Government Area.” He described Malesh as “one of the key grassroots mobilizers who played a vital role in delivering the constituency to the NNPP.”
He also noted that Malesh’s community efforts over the years have reached many residents, including support in areas such as education, health, and social welfare.
Listing various initiatives, Muzakkir said Alhaji Malesh had organized medical outreach, sponsored JAMB registrations, supported voter card registration, distributed food during Ramadan, and funded NECO and WAEC exam fees for students between 2022 and 2025. He also mentioned Malesh’s support for kaciya (mass male circumcision programs).
“In 2023, his efforts continued with repeated JAMB sponsorships, kaciya, food distribution during Ramadan, and the registration of students for NECO, WAEC, and tertiary institutions,” he said.
“By 2024, the same initiatives were repeated, with more focus on tertiary education support. He continued with JAMB sponsorships, *kaciya*, food assistance during Ramadan, and exam registrations, thereby easing the burden on many low-income families,” he added.
“In 2025, Malesh maintained his commitment to education and community development, once again funding JAMB, NECO, and WAEC registrations, university student registrations, and *kaciya* activities across Tarauni.”
Muzakkir concluded by saying, “These consistent interventions have made Alhaji Malesh well-regarded in Tarauni,” and urged the state government to consider assigning him responsibilities beyond the football board appointment.
