KANO — The Kano State Geographic Information Service (KANGIS) has sealed more than 200 illegal structures across the state as part of efforts to enforce planning regulations and promote orderly urban development.
The Director-General of KANGIS, Dr. Dalhatu Aliyu Sani, disclosed this on Monday while leading members of the Committee on the Identification of Illegal Structures during an enforcement operation at Kundila along Zaria Road, where officials halted the construction of a building located close to a high-tension electricity line.
Dr. Sani, who also chairs the committee, said the affected structures are located along major roads, including Ahmadu Bello Way, Mundubawa Roundabout, Hadejia Road, Ring Road, Western Bypass, Zaria Road, Maiduguri Road and Gwarzo Road.
He said the enforcement exercise would be extended beyond the major roads to other parts of the state.
