The Kano state house of assembly has passed Kano emirates council law (repeal bill) 2024 after scaling 3rd reading.<\/p>\n
The law has abrogated establishment of 5 new Emirates in the state.<\/p>\n
All offices established under the repealed law have been set aside by the new bill.<\/p>\n
Also all district heads elevated or appointed under the repealed law are to revert to their previous position.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The law which created five new emirates was first assented to by ex-Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on December 5, 2019.<\/p>\n
The governor assented to an amendment to the law on 14 October, 2020 and signed another amendment on 11 April, 2023.<\/p>\n
Section 3(1) of the law established five distinct emirates; Kano, Bichi, Rano, Gaya and Karaye, with Kano and Karaye having eight local government areas of jurisdiction each, while Bichi and Gaya emirates share 9 local government areas of jurisdiction each, Rano Emirate enjoys jurisdiction over 10 local government areas out of the 44 local councils in the state.<\/p>\n
When Emir Muhammadu Sanusi, who chaired the council, was deposed on March 9, 2020, the law was amended to read: \u201cThere shall be the chairman of the council who shall be the emir, Kano Emirate\u201d.<\/p>\n
Section 12 provides that the governor may grade the office of an emir first, second, or third class subject to the approval of the House of Assembly.<\/p>\n
A principal officer of the assembly, who did not want his name mentioned, said \u201cno Jupiter can stop the assembly from amending the law.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
