In the letter, the deputy governor is seeking approval after the IMC’s first three months in office expire.

While reading the letter of request during Friday’s plenary session, the Speaker of the Assembly, Hon Ismail Falgore, pointed out that the tenure of the IMCs expires on June 8, 2024.

“I bring to the house to consider and approve the committee for the interim management committee to steer the affairs of their respective local governments for another period from June 9 to September 9, 2024,” part of the letter stated.

Speaking, a member representing the Dala constituency, Lawan Dala, noted that, according to the law’s provisions, the committees can only be reinstated before the expiration date.

The House also conducted the first reading of the  Kano State Second Class Emirate Councils Establishment Bill, 2024.
