The House had previously conducted the first reading of the bill before going on a long recess.
It could be recalled that the state government had annulled the law establishing the existing emirate structure in the state, which had comprised Kano, Rano, Kibya, Gaya, and Bichi emirates, and had sacked their respective Emirs.
The repealed Emirate Law is the subject of pending litigation at the Kano State High Court and the Federal High Court sitting in Kano.
