A law imposing a fine of ₦25,000 on anyone caught spitting, urinating, defecating, or dumping waste on streets and under bridges in Kano has been passed by the State House of Assembly.
This follows the law passed by the Assembly, which empowers the authority responsible for beautifying the city of Kano and managing recreational areas.
Speaking to Newsmen after Monday’s plenary, the Majority Leader of the Assembly, Lawan Hussaini Dala, said the government needed to take steps to clean up Kano to place the state alongside other global cities in terms of cleanliness and development. Lawan Hussaini Dala added that, in addition to the ₦25,000 fine, there are different penalties outlined in the law that will be used to penalize anyone found guilty of these offenses.
The Assembly also conducted a second reading of a bill to amend the Kano Waste Management and Environmental Sanitation Authority Act, aimed at establishing an Assistant Executive Governor.
