The Kano State House of Assembly has passed Kano emirates council law (repeal bill) 2024 abrogating all the five emirates, including that of the Emir of Kano.
The bill, which scaled third reading, making all offices established under the repealed law have been set aside by the new bill.
In the bill, all district heads elevated or appointed under the repealed law are to revert to their previous positions.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.
