The Kano State House of Assembly has described the year 2025 as a watershed period marked by consistent and quality legislation to strengthen governance and improve service delivery across the state. The Assembly said its performance reflects renewed legislative commitment under the leadership of Speaker Rt. Hon. Jibril Ismail Falgore.
The summary of activities was contained in a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the House, Kamaluddeen Sani Shawai.
The 10th Assembly, comprising 40 lawmakers representing constituencies across Kano, remained active throughout the year with regular sittings and deliberations. Principal officers and the Clerk of the House coordinated legislative and administrative activities to ensure smooth operations.
Between January and December 2025, lawmakers adopted over 700 motions and passed 15 bills aimed at institutional development and citizens’ welfare. The laws addressed key sectors including electricity, security, health, social protection, and regulatory services.
