The Kano State government has marked properties, including multimillion Naira plazas and filling stations located along popular BUK road, for demolition.
The property are those built around the ancient Kano city wall which the incumbent governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, accused his predecessor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, of illegally allocating for development.
While a few of the structures marked for demolition by the Kano State Urban Planning and Development Authority (KNUPDA) are under construction, majority of them have been completed.
VOP News gathered that one of the completed plazas belongs to the state government under Kano State Investment and Properties Limited, while others belong to individuals and business owners in the state.
Among the structures that exist on Badala are filling stations, car dealers spots and one of the biggest filling stations in the state.
Residents in the state have expressed diverse views with regards to the decision, with some of them saying the demolition exercise is taking the state backward, while others support the idea.
