Former Governor of the the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Muhammad Sanusi 11 has been reinstated as the Emir of Kano following the signing of the amended Emirate bill (2024) into law by Governor Abba Yusuf on Thursday.
Governor Yusuf officially announced the re-appointment of Emir Sanusi shortly after signing the bill into law.
He performed the signing at Ante-chamber, Government House before the Speaker of Kano state House of Assembly, Hon. Ismaila Falgore and other Principal Officers of the House.
Speaking shortly after signing the law, Governor Yusuf described the event as historic, and thanked the state of Assembly for performing their constitutional duties.
He said the Kano state Emirate law 2019 that divided the over 1000 years Kano Emirate into five has been repealed.
