The Kano State Government has revealed new measures regarding homeowners in Kwankwasiyya and Amana cities following the conclusion of the six-month grace period previously granted for the completion and occupation of residences.

As stated in the government's directive shared by his media aide, Ibrahim Adam, an additional extension until December 31, 2025, has been granted for property owners whose buildings are between 50% and 95% completed, allowing them more time to finish construction and move in.

However, the government cautioned that owners who have not demonstrated reasonable commitment or have abandoned their properties face the risk of losing their allocations. The statement indicated that such offers will be canceled, with the government assuming control of the affected houses, completing them, and providing refunds to the owners accordingly.

Furthermore, any structure built in violation of the approved building prototypes will be demolished to uphold the integrity, safety, and aesthetics of the state's mega city projects.

The state government reiterated its dedication to ensuring the successful development of Kwankwasiyya and Amana Cities in accordance with approved urban planning standards.
