The Kano State Government has
bowed to pressure by suspending its law banning opposite genders from boarding
same tricycles.
The spokesperson of Kano State
Hisbah Board, the agency responsible for implementing the law, Lawan Fagge,
disclosed this to newsmen on Tuesday that the suspension followed intense
meetings with the leadership of the AdaidataSahu Owners.
“The decision was taken after
consultation with leadership of commercial tricycle operators who pleaded for
extension of the implementation date from January 2020 to a much later date,”
he said.
Late last week, the Commander
General of Hisbah Board, Harun Ibn-Sina, announced that men and women would no
longer be allowed to share the same commercial tricycles from January 2020.
IBN Sina revealed this at the
closing ceremony of 77th annual Islamic Vacation Course (IVC) organised by Zone
A of Muslim Society of Nigeria (MSSN) held at Bayero University, Kano.
