The state is indeed among the top most recognized northern states in Nigeria as they have produced various reputable political leaders in Nigerian history right from the time of the military rule up till now in the democracy days.
Kano state borders few other Northern states in Nigeria like; Kaduna State (South-west), Bauchi State (South-east), Jigawa State (North-east), and Katsina State (North-West).
