On Tuesday, The Kano State House of Assembly passed the Kano State Emirates Council Establishment Bill 2024 after the bill passed its third reading.

The bill which was sponsored by Muhammad Bello Bututu, Deputy Speaker of the Assembly and member for the Rimin Gado/Tofa state constituency, provides for the establishment of Kano as a first-class emirate and Rano, Gaya, and Karaye as second-class emirates, respectively.

Rano Emirate includes Rano, Bunkure, and Kibiya local government areas; Gaya Emirate includes Gaya, Albasu, and Ajingi LGAs; and Karaye Emirates includes Karaye and Rogo LGAs.

Emirs of the three second-class emirates would report to the Emir of Kano and have the authority to advise him on any problem concerning public order, boundary disputes, or disputes between two or more people within their areas of jurisdiction.
