The Kano State government has revoked lands allotted by the administration of former governor Abdullahi Ganduje, located between Kano State Polytechnic and the Aminu Kano College of Islamic and Legal Studies.

The governor, represented by Abduljabbar Umar, the Commissioner for Lands and Physical Planning, presented the documents of the land to the college’s Deputy Rector, Dija Isa.

Isa, while addressing journalists on Wednesday, said Yusuf was empowered by Section 28 of the Land Use Act, Cap 15 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004, to take that decision.

The commissioner said, “I wish to cast the minds of the members of the public to when we came on board on the 29th May 2023. His Excellency directed for development control activities to be kick-started over a lingering dispute on the piece of land between the Kano State Polytechnic and the Aminu Kano School of Remedial Studies.

I wish to remind members of the public that following necessary due process, it has been established and confirmed that the layout implemented over the piece of land was done illegally.

I hereby, by the powers conferred upon the executive governor of Kano State, by Section 28 of the Land Use Act, cap 15 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004, which powers are delegated to him, pursuant to Section 45 of the Act, I Alhaji Abduljabbar M. Umar, honourable Commissioner, Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning, Kano State, do give you notice that the entire site under layout number TPNUPDA/366 has been reinstated to Aminu Kano College of Islamic Studies.

The alternative site hitherto given to the school at Badume, Bichi Local Government Area, has been revoked and reverted to the Kano State government.

I hereby present this certificate to the Aminu Kano College of Islamic and Legal Studies, ably represented by the Deputy Rector of the college.”

Receiving the land documents on behalf of the college, the Deputy Rector, Isa, expressed gratitude to the Yusuf government.

This is a very happy day for us at the Aminu Kano College of Islamic and Legal Studies. In fact, not us alone but the people of Kano State as a whole, because Aminu Kano College of Islamic and Legal Studies is an institution of Kano State for our children and great-grandchildren and posterity.

“This revocation of land had upset us; it had upset the people of Kano State as a whole because it was a setback in the education system. Now that we have our land back, we are grateful to the Kano State government,” he said.
