Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has restated his administration’s commitment to grassroots development with a plan to grant full autonomy to the 44 local government councils in the state.
Yusuf disclosed this while presiding over the 31st State Executive Council meeting at the Government House Annex, Kwankwasiyya City.
The council, at the meeting, approved the transmission of a bill seeking to guarantee financial and administrative independence for local councils to the House of Assembly for legislative consideration.
According to a statement by his spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, the governor said the initiative would allow councils to manage their resources directly, execute projects without delays, and respond to the peculiar needs of their communities.
He described local government autonomy as vital for good governance, accountability, and accelerated development at the grassroots, adding that the reform was a step toward deepening democracy in the state.
Yusuf expressed optimism that lawmakers in the Assembly would give full support to the bill in the interest of the people.
