Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano state has promised to assent the Bill requesting for the creation of four first class Emirate councils in the state as soon as it is dispatched to him.
Ganduje disclosed this on Wednesday at a media briefing prior to the commencement of the 136th State Executive Council meeting, at the Council Chamber in Government House, Kano.
He said “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,” he added.
Ganduje explained that the idea had been on for many years, saying “With the creation of more emirates, all sectors of the society would improve.”
