Ibrahim Yakub, the managing director of the Kano State Urban Planning and Development Authority (KNUPDA), has opened a “one-stop shop” to expedite the issue of building permits and approvals.

Given the significance of the assignment, he exhorted the team to work relentlessly and commended the personnel for being chosen solely on the basis of merit.
In carrying out their responsibilities, the unit’s leader, Bilkisu Muhammad, pledged to put in a lot of effort to have a beneficial influence.
