Kano Assembly Extends Suspension of Local Government Chairmen

The Kano State House of Assembly has announced a three-month extension of the suspension for the Chairmen of Rogo, Bagwai, and Bebeji Local Government Councils. The suspended chairmen are Bello Abdullahi-Gadanya (Bagwai), Alhassan Salisu (Bebeji), and Abubakar-Mustapha (Rogo).

This decision was communicated by Kamaluddeen Sani-Shawai, the Chief Press Secretary of the Assembly. The House has also extended the mandate of the ad-hoc committee tasked with investigating the allegations against these chairmen for an additional three months.

The committee was initially given three months to conduct its investigation and present a report to the House. With the extension, the committee is expected to further examine the petitions and conclude its investigation within the new timeframe.

The chairmen were previously suspended due to allegations of violating due process in their administrative procedures.
