Kano assembly calls for legislative, judicial autonomy

The Kano State House of Assembly has called on the state government to ensure financial autonomy of the legislative and judicial arms of government in the state.

The call was sequel to deliberations on the floor of the house, during the plenary presided over by Jibril Falgore, the speaker, on Monday, in Kano.

Aminu Sa’adu (NNPP- Ungogo) who moved the motion argued that, the Nigerian constitution provides for full financial autonomy yet to be enjoyed in the country.

After careful deliberations, the House adopted a resolution and called on Kano State Government to do the needful, by granting financial autonomy to the legislature and judiciary.
