New kano emirates
You're referring to the newly created emirates in Kano State, Nigeria!
As of 2019, Kano State has been divided into five new emirates, which are:
- Kano Emirate: This is the original and largest emirate, which covers the city of Kano and its surrounding areas.
- Bichi Emirate: This emirate was created in 2019 and covers the Bichi Local Government Area.
- Gaya Emirate: This emirate was also created in 2019 and covers the Gaya Local Government Area.
- Rano Emirate: This emirate was created in 2019 and covers the Rano Local Government Area.
- Karaye Emirate: This emirate was created in 2019 and covers the Karaye Local Government Area.
These new emirates were created by the Kano State Government to promote development and improve governance in the state. Each emirate has its own emir, who is responsible for administering the affairs of the emirate and representing the state government at the local level.
It's worth noting that the creation of these new emirates has been met with some controversy, with some people arguing that it is a way for the state government to consolidate its power and undermine the traditional authority of the Kano Emirate. However, the government has maintained that the creation of new emirates is necessary to promote development and improve governance in the state.
