Northern Nigeria recorded major events in 2024, many of which were catastrophic.
Crises in the Kano and Adamawa emirates, violent #Endbadgovernance protests in the North-west, deadly boat accidents in the North-central, a devastating flood in Maiduguri, and power lines vandalisation in Niger State that threw many states in the region into days of darkness were some of the most significant events of the year in the area. PREMIUM TIMES reviews some of the events.
On 23 May, the Kano State House of Assembly passed the Kano State Emirates Council (Amendment No.2) Law, 2024. The bill repealed the State Emirate Council Law 2019, which split the state into five emirate councils. Governor Abba Yusuf signed the bill into law the same day, dissolved the four emirates created under the repealed law by the immediate past administration of former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, and removed all five emirs.
