Kano Assembly approves Ganduje’s request to access N20bn loan from CBN, UBA

Kano State House of Assembly has approved Governor Abdullahi Ganduje’s request to access N20 billion loan from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and United Bank for Africa (UBA).

The assembly approved the request during plenary on Monday after a series of deliberations.

While shedding more light to newsmen on the facility, the majority of the assembly, Kabiru Hassan Dashi said the loan was to cover up the economic breakdown occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to him, the assembly considered the governor’s request after the government’s inability to access the loan from the capital market due to worsening economic conditions.

Meanwhile, during the plenary, a member representing Kunchi/Tsayawa constituency, Garba Ya’u Gwarwai apologised to the assembly on behalf of the five of them suspended on March 2020.

It would be recalled that the five lawmakers were suspended by the house for allegedly being the mastermind of a rowdy session. The lawmakers also approached the court which ordered their reinstatement.

Ya’u Gwarmai said, “we are apologizing in order to allow peace to reign in the assembly. Therefore, I am apologizing on behalf of my other colleagues.”
