The Kano State House of Assembly has passed a law granting the governor the authority to establish a state-run center for the control and prevention of infectious diseases. The legislation was approved after a third reading and thorough discussions led by the Speaker of the House, Jibril Isma’il Falgore.

The law, designed to enhance the state’s infectious disease management system, had previously passed its first and second readings in the prior year after the executive branch submitted the draft bill to the House.

Additionally, the House reviewed and approved a report from its Works Committee, chaired by the legislator for Gaya Local Government Area, Abubakar Abdullahi Isah. The report included the appointment of Hajiya Ladidi Garko as Chairperson of the Kano State Civil Service and Training Commission, along with Abdullahi Muhammad and Ado Ahmad Muhammad as members.

Kano State House of Assembly correspondent Kamal Umar Kurna also reported that the House conducted the first reading of several new bills, including the Kano State Advertising Regulatory Agency Bill, the Kano State Urban Planning and Development Agency Bill, and the Kano State Water Sector Professionals Welfare Association Bill.
