| Kano Assembly Approves Bill to Establish Second-Class Emirates |
The Kano State House of Assembly has successfully passed the Kano State Emirates Council Establishment Bill 2024, following its third reading on Tuesday.
Sponsored by Deputy Speaker Muhammad Bello Bututu, who represents the Rimin Gado/Tofa state constituency, the bill establishes Kano as a first-class emirate and creates three second-class emirates: Rano, Gaya, and Karaye.
The Rano Emirate will include the local government areas of Rano, Bunkure, and Kibiya. The Gaya Emirate will cover Gaya, Albasu, and Ajingi LGAs, while the Karaye Emirate will consist of Karaye and Rogo LGAs.
The emirs of these second-class emirates will report to the Emir of Kano and will have the authority to advise him on matters related to public order, boundary disputes, and conflicts between individuals within their jurisdictions.
