The Kano State Law Reform Commission has earmarked N100 million for the reforms of various laws of the state in 2025.
Chairman of the Commission, Justice Lawal Wada Muhammadu made this known shortly after he defended the commission’s 2025 budget before the committee on Judiciary at the state house of Assembly.
According to him, many laws in the state are in need of reforms, a project that started earlier in the year but was unfortunately damaged and burned during the August protest in the state.
He said the whole work is starting all over again with a total budget of N100 million to reform all the laws in the coming year.
“There are many laws that are old; Some were made since before Nigeria’s independence and are as old as since 1837 and based on England law. Some of them are not even used in the country but we still have it here.
“Those are some of the reviews we want to do. The ones that are not useful will be withdrawn and the ones that need reform will be reform,” he noted.
Others who defended their budgets are the Kano state radio corporation, the state ministry of information, Kano pillars club, Abubakar Rimi television, the triumph newspaper, Kano printing press, Kano film and censorship Board among others.
Reinstating their commitment to utilizing the resources committed in their budget to improve outputs.
