Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has disclosed that the state will rebuild the old Kano wall with debris from demolished sites, noting that the process to start the reconstruction has commenced.
Yusuf stated this while inspecting some of the demolished sites in the Kano metropolis over the weekend.
The Governor in a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, assured that debris from the demolished sites will be used to reconstruct the Kano walls.
He, however, warned that: “People, who have no business are not needed to be seen at the demolition sites and the police and men of Nigeria Security and Civil Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has been mandated to provide security at the sites and guard it against intruders”.
“All those, who are not involved in the demolition exercise should keep off, as security agencies will not hesitate to take appropriate actions against intruders and those, who tend to be recalcitrant.”
“We went round the city to inspect the demolished sites and we decided to use the debris of the demolished sites to rehabilitate Kano city walls, so as to preserve history, beautify Kano and make it sites of attraction, as a national monument,” He added.
To this extent, the Governor called on the good people of Kano to continue to be law-abiding and report any suspicious movement to the security agencies for continuous peace and stability in our dear state Kano.
