The Kano State Censorship Board has directed the shutdown of all entertainment facilities across the state during the holy month of Ramadan.
In a statement on Tuesday, the board’s spokesperson, Abdullahi Sani Sulaiman, said the suspension affects event centers, gala houses, and DJ operations.
The directive takes effect from 10:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 18 February 2026, and will last until the end of Ramadan.
“The closure will remain in force throughout the fasting period. The date for reopening, especially during Eid celebrations, will be announced at the appropriate time,” the statement added.
