THE Kano State Government, has stated that the consolidation of the four new emirates in the state has prepared the ground for the traditional institution to be incorporated into sectoral development programs to meet the general socio-economic demands of the populace.
The state’s commissioner for information and internal affairs, Malam Muhammad Garba, revealed this in a statement yesterday.
He added that since the new emirates were established to ensure that the institution would endure and advance at the same pace as the rest of the globe, the All Progressives Congress (APC) government will involve the monarchs in carrying out its development plan.
Garba added that the APC government intended to use the new emirates to enhance its many development initiatives in the state, including those in the fields of health, agriculture, youth economic empowerment, free and mandatory basic and secondary education, scholarship programs, and other human development projects.
“Apart from the construction and upgrading of four health facilities in the newly created Emirate headquarters of Bichi, Gaya, Rano and Karaye to be fitted with state of the art equipment and construction of road networks, the private sector participation in the development of the new emirates is also in the offing.
“Many banks, entrepreneurs and small-scale industries have indicated strong interest to make a huge presence, while others have pledged to undertake some development programmes in the form of corporate social responsibility,” the statement added.
