Kano State governor, Abba Yusuf, has dissolved the caretaker chairmen of all 44 local government areas with immediate effect.
The governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature, made this disclosure in a statement.
This is coming a week after the state House of Assembly approved a two-month extension to their tenure, which was initially set to expire on September 8.
The lawmakers said the extension is aimed at ensuring continuity in local governance.
Local government polls in the state are scheduled to take place on October 26.
The governor directed the caretaker chairmen to hand over leadership to their respective directors of personnel management.
“This dissolution applies to all chairmen, vice chairmen, secretaries, and councillors,” Yusuf stated.
He expressed gratitude to the caretaker chairmen for their contribution to the development of their areas and hinted at potential future collaboration.
