Kano State House of Assembly

The Kano State House of Assembly has passed the Kano State Censorship Board Amendment Bill 2025, granting the board broader regulatory authority over entertainment and media content within the state.

The passage of the bill took place during the plenary session on Tuesday, following the consideration of the Committee of the Whole House and the third reading by the Clerk, Bashir Diso. The session was presided over by the Speaker, Ismail Falgore.

Briefing journalists after the plenary, Lawan Husseini, the lawmaker representing Dala Constituency, disclosed that the amendment empowers the board to oversee the registration of event centers and enforce strict compliance with Islamic principles in entertainment-related activities.

He further stated that the board’s name has been officially changed from State Censorship Board to Kano State Censorship Board to clarify its jurisdictional authority.

“All films, series, and serials must now be censored and certified by the board before they can be aired,” Husseini explained. Additionally, the amended law prohibits the indiscriminate shooting of films within the state without obtaining prior approval from the board.

In a related development, the Kano State Water Users Association Bill 2025 has successfully passed the second reading in the Assembly.

The proposed legislation seeks to establish an association of irrigation farmers relying on dams and canal water to enhance agricultural productivity.

It also aims to improve irrigation infrastructure and ensure the proper maintenance of dams across the state.

The passage of these bills underscores the Assembly’s commitment to regulating media content in line with cultural and religious values while also advancing agricultural development in the state.
