Abba Yusuf, governor of Kano, has dissolved the caretaker committees of all 44 LGAs in the state.
The development arrives on the heels of the Kano house of assembly approving a two-month tenure extension for the caretaker chairpersons.
The extension, which would have run from September 9 to November 9, 2024, is now nullified following the dissolution.
In a statement issued by Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, spokesperson for the Kano governor, Yusuf directed the chairpersons to hand over affairs of their respective areas to directors personnel management (DPMs).
He added that the directors will oversee the councils until the next election.
The Kano state LGA election has been slated for October 26.
“Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf appreciated the outgoing Interim Management Committee members for their commitment in steering affairs of the local governments for half a year,” the statement reads.
“He assured that Kano State Government will continue to reckon with and carry them along in engagements for the benefit of the people of Kano.
“Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf directed the Interim management Committees to hand over the affairs of their respective areas to Directors Personnel Management (DPMs) who will run the councils pending the local government elections coming up on the 26th of October this year.
“He called on the Directors Personnel Management to be transparent and adhere strictly to rules and regulations guiding their conducts as the overseers of local governments in the state.”
