Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has dissolved the caretaker chairmen of all 44 local government areas with immediate effect.
This was contained in a statement issued by the spokesperson of the governor, Sanusi Bature, and made available on Wednesday.
The dissolution is coming a week after the state House of Assembly approved a two-month extension to their tenure, which was initially set to expire on September 8.
The extension, the lawmakers said, is aimed at ensuring continuity in local governance.
Local government elections are scheduled to take place on October 26.
Governor Yusuf directed the caretaker chairmen to hand over leadership to their respective Directors of Personnel Management.
