Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has signed four major bills into law, paving the way for the creation of new agencies aimed at boosting development and improving governance in the state.

The laws establish the Kano State Protection Agency (KASPA), Kano State Signage and Advertisement Agency (KASIAA), Kano State Information and Communication Technologies Development Agency (KASITDA), and Kano State Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency (KASMEDA).

Speaking through his spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, the governor said the move is part of his broader strategy to strengthen institutional frameworks and fast-track sustainable development.

Governor Yusuf described the signing as a milestone in his administration’s effort to build a “modern, inclusive, and economically vibrant Kano.”

“Our mission is to lay a solid foundation for a greater Kano,” he said. “These laws go beyond policy, they are key instruments of transformation that will help drive our development agenda.”

He stressed that the new agencies will focus on innovation, small business support, regulation of signage and advertising, and public protection.

Yusuf also warned that violations of the new laws will be met with strict penalties. “We are committed to the rule of law. These agencies will not only drive progress but also ensure accountability and efficiency in service delivery,” he added.

The initiative is seen as a continuation of the governor’s institutional reform drive aimed at making Kano a hub for innovation, entrepreneurship, and good governance.
