FRI APRIL 25 2025-theGBJournal| The Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, Thursday signed into law four landmark bills expected to stimulate innovation, support small businesses, regulate signage and advertising, and enhance public protection and service delivery in the State.
The Bills, which are now part of the Kano State legal framework, establishes the Kano State Social Protection Agency (KASPA), the Kano State Signage and Advertisement Agency (KASIAA), Kano State Information and Communication Technologies Development Agency (KASITDA), Kano State Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency (KASMEDA)-all in bid to further entrench the state as one of the most business friendly states in the country.
Governor Yusuf sees the signing as a significant step toward realizing his administration’s vision of a modern, inclusive, and economically vibrant Kano.
”The new agencies will play a crucial role in job creation, investment attraction, and the efficient implementation of government initiatives,” the Governor said, adding ”our mission is to lay a solid foundation for a greater Kano. These laws go beyond policy — they are key instruments of transformation that will help drive our development agenda.”
He also issued a strong warning that violations of the provisions of these laws will be met with strict penalties, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring compliance.
Stakeholders say the establishment of these agencies reflects Governor Yusuf’s continued efforts to reform public institutions, improve governance, and position Kano as a leading center for innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable growth.
