Yusuf presents staff of office to new Emir of Rano
Gov. Abba Yusuf of Kano State has presented a Staff of Office to the new Emir of Rano, Alhaji Muhammadu Umaru, with a pledge to revive the lost glory of traditional institutions in the state.
Yusuf presented the Staff of Office at a ceremony on Monday in Rano Township Stadium, crowning him as second class Emir and the 19th Autan Bawo.
The governor said that Umar’s selection was based on merit and urged him to bring to bear his wealth of experience toward the development of his domain and the state.
He said the State Government would continue to support traditional institutions in view of their crucial role in the development of the state.
“Our administration is committed to reviving the lost glory and sanctity of our revered traditional institutions across the state,”he said.
Yusuf said his administration was fully aware of the socio-cultural as well as the economic significance of traditional institutions to the well-being of the state, hence its decision to support them.
In his remarks,the new Emir thanked the government for the appointment and pledged to work for the unity, progress and development of the Emirate and the state.
Umar appealed to Yusuf to revoke the contract for the 5km road project in his domain and reassign it to another contractor for speedy execution.
According to him,the contractor currently handling the project is not up and doing, hence the need to reassign the job to another contractor.
He also appealed to the governor to find a lasting solution to the age-long water scarcity being faced in the area which he said past governments could not address.
