Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has directed the immediate demolition of illegal structures erected at Race Course and some identified public places in Kano.
This was contained in a statement issued on Saturday, June 3, by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Bature Dawin-Tofa.
Yusuf assured the commitment of the present administration to restoring the glory of the state by reclaiming all encroached public land and properties that were used to erect illegal structures by private individuals or groups.

He noted 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,” the governor added.
