Weeks after a Kano State High Court nullified the creation
of four emirates by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, the Kano State Governor has
transmitted a fresh bill for the creation of four new emirates.
The Governor who said that the Kano state executive council
discussed an “age-long clamour” for the establishment of additional emirates in
the state with a view to bringing more development to the people of the new
emirates, said the new bill transmitted on Monday December 2 endorsed the
establishment of Rano, Gaya, Bichi and Karaye emirates.
In a statement released by Kano Commissioner Muhammad Garba,
the State Government said the bill was sent to the state's house of assembly
for neccesary action.
Garba who alleged that the created emirates pre-dated Kano
in ancient times, insisted that it will bring the traditional institution
closer to the people in addition to facilitating speedy socio-economic
development and security in the state.
