The Kano state house of assembly has passed the Kano Emirates Council Law (Repeal Bill) 2024 after scaling its third reading.
The law has abrogated the establishment of five new Emirates in the state. All offices established under the repealed law have been set aside by the new bill.
Also, all district heads elevated or appointed under the repealed law are to revert to their previous positions.
The Kano State Emirates Council (Amendment number 2) Law, 2024, was sponsored by the Majority Leader and member representing the Dala Constituency, Lawan Hussaini Chediyar Yan Gurasa.
The law, which created five new emirates, was first assented to by ex-Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje on December 5, 2019.
A principal officer of the assembly, who did not want his name mentioned, said, “No Jupiter can stop the assembly from amending the law.”
