KANO — Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has issued a three-month ultimatum to property owners in Kwankwasiyya, Ammana, and Bandarau cities and housing estates to put their properties to use or risk revocation.
The governor gave the directive on Monday during the swearing-in ceremony of Architect Ibrahim Yakubu Adamu as the new Commissioner for Housing Development in the state.
Governor Yusuf emphasized that properties in the three estates, which were developed during the administration of Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, must either be occupied by their owners or rented out for active use within the next three months.
He stressed the urgent need to revive economic activities in these housing estates and directed the new commissioner to ensure the immediate restoration of all basic amenities to provide a conducive living environment for residents.
The governor tasked Commissioner Adamu with bringing his expertise to bear in his new role, noting that the creation of the Ministry of Housing Development was aimed at addressing the housing deficit in Kano.
He also urged the commissioner to leverage the collaboration between the state government and the Federal Mortgage Bank to provide affordable housing for civil servants.
Until his appointment, Architect Adamu served as the Managing Director of the Kano State Urban Planning and Development Authority.
