JUST IN: KANO STATE ASSEMBLY PASSES LAW DISSOLVING 4 EMIRATES
The Kano State House of Assembly has enacted the Kano Emirates Council Law, also known as the Repeal Bill 2024, following a third reading.
Five new Emirates have been abolished by the state legislature.
The new law has eliminated all of the offices created under the law that was repealed.
On December 5, 2019, former governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje gave his initial approval to the law that established five new emirates.
The governor assented to an amendment to the law on 14 October, 2020 and signed another amendment on 11 April, 2023.
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.

When Emir Muhammadu Sanusi, who chaired the council, was deposed on March 9, 2020, the law was amended to read: “There shall be the chairman of the council who shall be the emir, Kano Emirate”.
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.
A principal officer of the assembly, who did not want his name mentioned, said “no Jupiter can stop the assembly from amending the law.”
