Gov. Yusuf orders demolition of illegal structures in Kano
Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has directed the immediate demolition of illegal structures erected at the Race Course, and some identified public places in the metropolis.
This is contained in a statement by his press secretary, Bature Dawin-Tofa, on Saturday.
Mr Yusuf assured the present administration’s commitment to restoring the glory of the state by reclaiming all encroached public land and properties used to erect illegal structures by private individuals or groups.
He explained that the structures erected in schools, mosques, public playgrounds, graveyards, markets and hospitals would be demolished to ensure strict adherence to the urban planning, beautification and safety of people.
“These places are meant for public use; it is, therefore, disheartening to witness the incessant destruction and conversion of public places that are used to render social services by unpatriotic citizens.
“We shall bring an end to land grabbing and indiscriminate erection of illegal structures in the state,” he said.
