Kano Assembly Passes Ganduje’s Controversial Emirates Bill

SWITZERLAND, DECEMBER 05 – The Kano State House of Assembly on Thursday passed the controversial Kano Emirates Council Bill 2019, which seeks to create four additional emirates in the state.

The bill, which was sent to the House on Monday by the state Executive Council, was read for the third time on Thursday morning and passed into law with very little alteration.

DAILY NIGERIAN gathered that the only amendment to the bill is in Section 12, which the legislators inserted a proviso that the governor must seek their approval before grading the emirs first, second and third class.
