The Kano state governor, Alhaji Abba Yusuf has requested members of the State House of Assembly to move to a convenient site for legislative functions to allow for demolition of the Assembly Complex for a new model.
The governor in a letter addressed to the Speaker of the Assembly, Hon. Ismail Falgore, appreciated the cordial relationship between the executive and legislative arms, announcing the intention to demolish the building.
Reading the letter on the floor of the House during plenary, the Speaker said the state government planned to construct a new and befitting chamber that would stand the test of time.
The governor therefore admonished them to move to a convenient site where they could continue to carry out their legislative functions effectively before the completion of the new chamber.
In his response to the letter, Majority Leader, Hon. Lawan Husseini, urged the governor to ensure that transparency and due process were followed in awarding the contract for the reconstruction of the Assembly Complex.
He advised that the contract should be awarded to a competent contractor who will ensure standards and the completion of the project at the appropriate time.
