Gov. Yusuf Suspends KNUPDA Managing Director Over Alleged Planning Irregularities
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has suspended the Managing Director of the Kano State Urban Planning and Development Authority (KNUPDA), Arc. Hauwa Hassan Tudun-Wada, as part of efforts to address alleged irregularities in the administration of town planning and physical development across the state.

The government has reiterated its commitment to enforcing planning regulations and ensuring that development projects across the state conform to established guidelines and legal requirements.
