Kano State Government says it opposes any move to convert parts of the Afforestation Programme Coordinating Unit (APCU) environmental complex in Jambulo into residential or commercial plots. Both reports state that the state government views the facility as an important federal environmental asset and argues it should remain available for its original public purpose. The state Commissioner for Water Resources, Environment and Climate Change, Dr Dahir M. Hashim, is cited as explaining that the complex should not be diverted to private development. While the articles describe the opposition position and the rationale for keeping the site for environmental use, they do not provide details on who is proposing the conversion, the scope of land affected, or any official alternative plans. The reports also do not outline specific timelines or legal steps being considered by Kano in response to the proposed change. Overall, the coverage converges on Kano’s rejection of the conversion and its insistence that the APCU/Jambulo facility continues to serve public environmental functions.
