DEMOLISHING: Kano Govt gives quit notice

1046

Tenants occupying properties built on government lands and public spaces have been asked by the Kano State Government to vacate their rented facilities or risk the consequences.

The notice was given in a statement signed and issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Abdullahi Baffa Bichi.
The statement was written in Hausa and translates,” Those who rented shops built on government properties such as schools, cemeteries hospitals, mosques, recreational parks, around Kano walls and other government places to immediately vacate these properties”

The statement added that, “failure to comply with the directive may affect their properties for which the government would not be held responsible “

Gov Abba Yusuf of Kano

This is a departure from its earlier practice, whereby its bulldozers demolish the affected properties and whatever items were found within it .

Some believed that the state government might have realized that it acted in grave error to have embarked on the demolition exercise which negatively affected tenants, who were neither notified to quit nor were directly responsible for the alleged trespass by the property owners”.
