The Kano State House of Assembly has passed five amended bills to establish the office of Deputy Managing Director (DMD) in key government agencies to enhance continuity and administrative efficiency in the state.
The legislative approval was made during a plenary session, presided over by the Speaker of the House.
The amended bills include:
– The Kano State Agricultural and Rural Development Authority (Amendment) Bill 2025
– The Kano State Water Resources and Engineering Construction Agency (Amendment) Bill 2025
– The Kano State Broadcasting Corporation (Amendment) Bill 2025
– The Kano State Television Corporation (Amendment) Bill 2025
– The Kano Printing Press (Amendment) Bill 2025
According to Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Lawan Husseini, the creation of Deputy Managing Director (DMD) positions will prevent disruptions in government agencies when Managing Directors (MDs) are absent.
“The deputy managing director can stand in for a managing director anytime he is not on the seat, instead of allowing the agencies’ activities to be at a standstill without progress,” Hon. Husseini stated.
