Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has signed into law four bills to establish new agencies in the state.
The new laws provide for the establishment of the Kano State Protection Agency (KASPA), Kano State Signage and Advertisement Agency (KASIAA), Kano State Information and Communication Technologies Development Agency (KASITDA) and Kano State Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency (KASMEDA).
These laws, which are now part of the Kano State legal framework, are expected to stimulate innovation, support small businesses, regulate signage and advertising and enhance public protection and service delivery.
A statement by the director of media and publicity, Kano State Government House, Sunusi Bature, said the governor described the signing as a significant step toward realising the administration’s vision of a modern, inclusive and economically vibrant Kano.
He emphasised that the new agencies would play a crucial role in job creation, investment attraction and the efficient implementation of government initiatives.
“Our mission is to lay a solid foundation for a greater Kano. These laws go beyond policy – they are key instruments of transformation that will help drive our development agenda,” the governor stated.
He also warned that violations of the provisions of the laws would be penalised, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring compliance.
