Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has directed property owners in Kwankwasiyya, Amana, and Bandirawo cities to occupy their properties within three months or risk revocation.
The governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, disclosed this in a statement following the swearing-in of the new Commissioner for Housing Development.
“We must continue developing our state, and these three cities were established with that vision in mind. To all property owners in these areas, I am giving a clear directive: either occupy your properties or risk revocation,” Yusuf said.
He urged those unable to relocate to consider renting out their properties, stressing the government’s commitment to making the estates thrive.
“We want these cities to flourish, which is why we have provided all necessary infrastructure, including roads, water, and 24-hour electricity. The 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,” he added.
Yusuf further announced that the state Ministry of Housing Development would take over the current Housing Corporation headquarters, while the Corporation itself would be relocated to Kwankwasiyya City to bring government services closer to the people.
