KANO State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has congratulated the newly appointed Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, and his brother, the new Emir of Bichi, Alhaji Nasiru Ado Bayero, while calling on all five Emirate councils in the state, to rally round security operatives to ensure that street begging is wiped out in every nook and cranny of the state.
He said, “I am happy, happy and happy that the state is celebrating the unique history, by witnessing the emergence of two brothers both from same father and mother as appointed Emirs in the state.
“This is the first time, in the history of the ancient city of Kano, the country at large and even in the world, that a big town like Kano, will appoint two brothers as Emirs, it is very interesting and deserves celebration.”
Making the assertion on Wednesday, while speaking shortly after the presentation of letters of appointment to the two new Emirs, Dr Ganduje, said the motive for the creation of five Emirate councils in Kano State was to boost rapid development as well as to make traditional administration very close to the grassroots.
He noted that already, it is in pipeline to construct befitting hospitals within the newly created Emirate councils, which would be of 300 beds capacity, noting that this would prevent hundred of people rushing to the state capital for medical treatment.
Ganduje then disclosed the introduction of free and compulsory education from primary level to the secondary level of education, saying this would afford parents of less privileged to also enjoy qualitative education
This is the first time, that all five Emirs appointed for the new Emirate councils were opportune to be together, adding that this would boost cordial relationship as well as forestal rancour and acrimony.
