Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has issued a stern directive to property owners in Kwankwasiyya, Amana, and Bandirawo cities, demanding that they occupy their properties within three months or face revocation.
The announcement was made following the swearing-in of the new Commissioner for Housing Development at the Kano Government House.
“We must continue developing our state, and these three cities were established with that vision in mind,” Governor Yusuf stated. “Either occupy your properties or risk revocation.”
The governor urged those unable to relocate to consider renting out their properties, reinforcing the government’s commitment to making the cities thrive.
“We want these cities to flourish, which is why we have provided all necessary infrastructure, including roads, water, and 24-hour electricity,” he added.
In addition, Yusuf announced that the Ministry of Housing Development would temporarily occupy the current Housing Corporation headquarters while the Corporation itself would relocate to Kwankwasiyya City.
This move aims to bring the government closer to the people it serves, with the governor promising that he would be available to address any concerns directly.
“Governor’s Lodge is also situated in Kwankwasiyya, and I am already operating from there. I am with you. If you have any complaints, reach out and talk to the governor,” Yusuf concluded.
