Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has said he will give assent to the bill, requesting the creation of four first-class Emirate Councils in the state.
The creation of more emirates will whittle down the influence of the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Muhammadu Sanusi.
Speaking at a media briefing ahead of the 136th state executive council meeting, Ganduje said he would sign it into law immediately he received it.
“We heard about a bill sent to the state house of assembly, requesting them to make a law for the creation of four more emirs in Kano.
“We believe the petitioners did it in good faith. And they want the development of the state. I hope the legislative arm would work on it and forward to me for assent of which I am ready to sign into law without any waste of time.
“That is the popular wish of our people. This will also go a long way in hastening growth and development for the state,” the Governor said.
Ganduje insisted the idea had been on for many years, adding “With the creation of more Emirates, all sectors of the society would improve.
“It will also lead to more concentration on our health, education and other equally important sectors of the society. That is why I said there will be no waste of time in signing the bill into law.
“That is the popular wish of our people. The people of Kano state. This will also go a long way in hastening growth and development for the state.
“The efforts didn’t get through many years ago but now we are happy to see that the idea would come into fruition.”
