The Emir made the call on Saturday while receiving the Executive Secretary, Kano State Censorship Board, Alhaji Ismail Naabba, at his palace in Bichi.

“We further call on parents in Kano and beyond to guard their children against negative usage of social media.”
The monarch also enjoined film practitioners to promote the Hausa culture through their movies.
He stressed the need for public enlightenment and sensitisation through films and drama, as an effective tool for understanding the rich Hausa social values.
