Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has dissolved the caretaker chairmen of all 44 local government areas, effective immediately. This decision was announced by the Governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature.
The dissolution follows a recent extension granted by the state House of Assembly, which had extended the chairmen’s tenure for two months beyond the original expiration date of September 8. The extension was intended to ensure continuity in local governance until the upcoming local government elections scheduled for October 26.
Governor Yusuf has instructed the caretaker chairmen to hand over their duties to their respective Directors of Personnel Management. The dissolution also affects vice chairmen, secretaries, and councillors. The Governor expressed his appreciation for the contributions of the outgoing chairmen and hinted at potential future collaboration.
