Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has sacked the caretaker chairpersons of all 44 local government areas with immediate effect.
A statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature, announced the development.
The dissolution comes a week after the state House of Assembly approved a two-month extension to the tenure of the appointees, which was initially set to expire on 8 September.
The extension, the lawmakers said, was to ensure continuity in local governance.
