Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has dissolved the caretaker committee chairmen of all 44 local government areas, effective immediately.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature.
The decision comes just a week after the state House of Assembly extended the caretaker chairmen’s tenure by two months, having been set to expire on September 8.
Lawmakers said the extension was meant to ensure continuity in local governance ahead of the upcoming local government elections scheduled for October 26.
Governor Yusuf instructed the caretaker chairmen to hand over leadership responsibilities to their respective Directors of Personnel Management, stating that the dissolution also affects vice chairmen, secretaries, and councillors.
In his remarks, the governor expressed gratitude for the caretaker chairmen’s contributions and hinted at possible future collaborations.
