Kano Govt. denies effort to dissolve new Emirates

The Kano State Government claims that it has not yet made a decision regarding the five new emirates created by the previous Dr. Umar Ganduje administration.

This information may be found in a statement made on Thursday in Kano by Bature Dawakin Tofa, the state governor’s press secretary.
He said the government has not raised the issue with the state House of Assembly.

On Wednesday, there were widespread rumors that the government had started the process of dissolving the Emirates and restoring Muhammad Sanusi II, the deposed emir of Kano.

“The engagements between the executive and legislative arm of government in Kano will be open and transparent to allow residents access to information on major policies and decisions of the NNPP-led administration.

“His Excellency only submitted a request to appoint 20 special advisers which was graciously approved by the state assembly in its maiden sitting.

“It is expected that the list of nominees for commissioners would be sent to the assembly next week for confirmation”, the press secretary added.
