Governor Yusuf remarked that these laws are not just administrative tools but critical to transforming Kano into a forward-looking, inclusive, and economically vibrant state.
He stressed that the agencies will serve as drivers for innovation, SME growth, advertisement regulation, and public safety enhancement.
He further explained that the creation of the new bodies is expected to stimulate job creation, attract both local and foreign investments, and ensure the effective execution of government policies.
