The Kano State government has reiterated that the it will not back down in the ongoing demolition of illegal structures, originally initiated by the previous administration of Abdullahi Ganduje.
The Deputy Governor, Comr. Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, said this during a meeting with members from the Association of Progressive Tarauni LGA at the Government House Thursday night.
He stressed the importance of upholding the rule of law and restoring order in urban areas.
“Imagine how public assets were sold by the previous administration for personal gain, without considering the consequences on the community. The division and sale of lands within the historic Massalacin Waje at Fagge LGA and portions of the Eid prayer ground, both of which have significant cultural and religious significance.
“Why were people who opposed the demolitions silent, particularly religious leaders, when the former governor was selling public assets to his family and close associates?” He said.
He also expressed dismay at the sale of portions of graveyards for the construction of shops, while emphasizing the efforts made by the current administration to improve such areas.
