The Zamfara state house of
assembly has passed a bill for the creation of another emirate council in the
state.
The bill for the creation of
Bazai emirate, presented by the executive, was passed on Wednesday, on the
floor of the house.
This will bring the number of
emirate councils in the state to 18.
On Tuesday, Ibrahim Kwatarkwashi,
lawmaker representing Bungudu east, presented the report of his committee on
the creation of the new emirate and titles.
Abubakar Gummi, deputy speaker of
the assembly, read the bill to the creation of the new emirate from the
Shinkafi emirate. Thereafter, the bill passed through its second and third reading.
According to the bill, the senior
district head of Jangeru in Shinkafi will be upgraded to a third class emir,
while Kayayen Mafara also moves up to a senior district head in Talata-Mafara
emirate.
Gummi also directed the clerk of
the house to inform the executive to give its assent to the bill after it has
been passed.
Meanwhile, the Kano assembly had
also passed a bill to split the Kano emirate into five.
Abudullahi Ganduje, governor of
the state, appointed four new emirs less than 48 hours after the bill was
signed into law.
