Assembly Adopts Motion For Emirate Council Law Amendment.

Kano State House of Assembly has adopted a motion to recall the Kano State Emirate Councils Amendment Bill.

This was sequel to deliberations on the floor of the House during a plenary session presided over by the Speaker, AlhajiIsma’ilFalgore, and a motion of urgent public importance moved by the Majority Leader, Alhaji LawanDala, who urged the House to support the motion to move the state forward.
