Abba Yusuf, governor of Kano, on Sunday sworn in the 44 newly elected LG chairmen, urging them to manage their resources prudently and fast-track grassroots development.
The Kano State Independent Electoral Commission (KANSIEC) on Saturday conducted election into the 44 LGAs in the state.
Candidates of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) won all the seats in the election.
Addressing the new LG chairmen, the governor emphasised the importance of prudence in governance to achieve the desired objectives of providing democracy dividends at the grassroots level.
Also, KANSIEC has issued certificate of return to the newly elected local government executive and legislature.
On Friday, the Kano state high court granted the state electoral body the authority to proceed with the elections, nullifying moves by political parties to stop the exercise.
Sanusi Ma’aji, the presiding judge, ruled that KANSIEC is empowered by the 1999 Constitution to conduct, supervise, and oversee local government elections across the 44 LGAs in the state.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) and 13 other political parties instituted the case against KANSIEC
