The state lawmakers amended the emirate council law to scrap the emirates of Gaya, Rano, Karaye and Bichi and restore Kano as the only emirate in the state.
The latest law signed by the governor on Tuesday reversed the dissolution of the three emirates but downgraded them to second-class.
The new second-class emirates include Rano with Rano as headquarters and Bunkure and Kibiya LGAs under it.
Karaye Emirate has Karaye as the council headquarters and Rogo LGA as part of its domain.
Also, Gaya Emirate, with its headquarters in Gaya, has Ajingi and Albasu LGA under it.
With the new development, the three second class emirates cover only eight of the 44 local government areas of the state, leaving Kano emirate under Lamido Sanusi as first class emir with 36 local government areas.
