The commissioner also announced that the council has given approval for the award of contract for the equipping and furnishing of the upcoming state Cancer Centre at the total cost of N4, 238, 855, 671.91 billion with aim of improving healthcare delivery in the state.
It would be recalled that the creation of the Emirates out of the former Kano Emirate has raised a lot of row that has led to the intervention of a high powered delegation after the
Kano State government had legalised the creation of the Emirates and a High court in the state had thrown out a case challenging the creation of the Emirates on technical grounds.
Governor Abdullahi Ganduje had stated that one of the reasons for the creation of the Emirates was to upgrade the health and education sectors for the benefit of the growing population thereby expanding development of the state. He had also declared that the Emirates have come to stay.
