Among the new laws passed, prominent bills include the Kano State Free-Marital Health Screening Bill 2024, the Kano State Public Health Security Bill 2024, the Kano State Centre for Disease Control Bill 2024, and the Kano State Pension and Gratuity (Amendment No.5) Bill 2024. Additional legislation includes the Kano State House of Assembly Service Commission (Amendment No. 2) Bill 2024 and the Kano State Judiciary Fund Management (Amendment) Bill 2024.

Hon. Falgore highlighted that the Assembly’s 217 resolutions addressed a broad range of critical issues impacting the public, including infrastructure, education, water supply, and healthcare, all aimed at enhancing the quality of life for Kano residents.
Additionally, Hon. Falgore acknowledged the Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee for clearing an eight-year backlog of audited state accounts and an 11-year backlog for local government accounts. This substantial clearance is seen as a crucial step toward restoring transparency, rebuilding public trust, and reinforcing effective governance in Kano State.
