The Kaduna State House of Assembly has repealed the laws that established the Zaria Metropolitan Authority, Kafanchan Municipal Authority, and the Kaduna Capital Territory Authority in 2021, saying it was due to the recent judgment by the Supreme Court on local governments in Nigeria.
The Speaker, Dahiru Liman, passed the bill for a law to repeal the law after the Chairman, of the Joint Committee on the Three Authorities’ Law and Judicial Law, presented a report to the house.
It would be recalled that Mahmud Lawal, Ali Kalat and Auwal Muhammad presented a report for a bill to repeal Zaria, Kafanchan, and Kaduna Capital Territory Authorities, respectively.
The house also repealed the law establishing the Fire and Public Safety Law No.20 of 2018 and enacted the Kaduna State Fire and Public Safety Law, of 2024.
The law was enacted after the chairman of the Joint Committee on Security and Intelligence and Judiciary, Munirat Suleiman, presented a report on the bill to the House.
Speaking after the session, Mahmud Lawal, a member representing Zaria City Constituency and the chairman of the joint committee of Zaria Metropolitan Authority and judiciary, said the repeal was necessary and timely.
