Kano Assembly Appeals for Aid to Flooded Rice Farmers

On September 29, 2026, the Kano State House of Assembly called on Governor Abba Yusuf to provide urgent assistance to residents of Shuwaki town in the Tudun Wada Local Government Area following severe flooding caused by heavy rainfall. The flooding, which occurred last Thursday, resulted in the destruction of over 200 rice farms belonging to local farmers and damaged critical infrastructure, including a historic bridge along the Tudun Wada-Shuwaki Road.

This disruption has severely affected transportation for students and residents, hindering access to farms and impacting socio-economic activities in the community. Sule Shuwaki, the member representing Tudun Wada Constituency, presented the motion during a plenary session presided over by Speaker Jibril Falgore.

He appealed for immediate relief materials and assistance for the affected farmers and residents, as well as the reconstruction of the damaged bridge and road. The motion was seconded by Abdullahi Kara, the member representing Gezawa Constituency, and was adopted by the House.
