Kano Assembly Approves State Police Bill and Budget Cuts
The Kano Assembly has passed a bill aimed at amending the 1999 Constitution to allow for the establishment of state police. This decision was made during a plenary session on Tuesday, presided over by Speaker Isma'il Falgore.
The bill was considered clause by clause, covering 26 clauses, before being approved by the lawmakers. This legislative move is part of ongoing efforts to enable states in Nigeria to create their own police services.
Additionally, the Assembly approved the Kano State Supplementary Appropriation and Amendment Bill, 2026, which reduces the state's earlier budget request from N1.478tn to approximately N1.211tn, marking a reduction of about N266.61bn from the original budget of N1,477,829,666,130.71. This supplementary budget was proposed by Governor Abba Yusuf for legislative consideration and approval.
