Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has signed into law four landmark bills that establish Kano State Social Protection Agency (KASPA) and three other new agencies.
A statement issued on Thursday by the Governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, said the new agencies were designed to strengthen institutional frameworks and accelerate sustainable development across the state.
The newly signed laws provide for the establishment of the following agencies; Kano State Social Protection Agency (KASPA), Kano State Signage and
Advertisement Agency (KASIAA), Kano State Information and Communication Technologies Development Agency (KASITDA) and Kano State Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency (KASMEDA)
These laws, which are now part of the Kano State legal framework, are expected to stimulate innovation, support small businesses, regulate signage and advertising, and enhance public protection and service delivery.
Governor Yusuf described the signing as a significant step toward realizing his administration’s vision of a modern, inclusive, and economically vibrant Kano.
He emphasized that the new agencies will play a crucial role in job creation, investment attraction, and the efficient implementation of government initiatives.
“Our mission is to lay a solid foundation for a greater Kano. These laws go beyond policy, they are key instruments of transformation that will help drive our development agenda,” he stated.
The governor also issued a strong warning that violations of the provisions of these laws will be met with strict penalties, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring compliance.
The establishment of these agencies reflects Governor Yusuf’s continued efforts to reform public institutions, improve governance, and position Kano State as a leading centre for innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable growth.
