On Saturday, the Kano Emirate Council held its inaugural Maulud durbar to honor the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II presided over the procession, attended by district leaders and other high-ranking officials. The event kicked off in the evening from the emir's palace at Gidan Rumfa and journeyed through Mandawari and Galadanci before concluding back at the palace.

The emirate announced that the Maulud durbar would now be observed annually on a set date. Katsina has previously allowed the establishment of a fibre optic market for potential investors, while Kano has observed a different custom during the Maulud, involving feasts, new attire, and processions praising the Prophet, with some ascending Dala Hill. The following images capture the essence of this momentous occasion.
