In a new directive aimed at upholding religious values, the Kano State Government has suspended all entertainment-related activities for the duration of Ramadan.
Stakeholders in the industry have been warned to comply immediately or face legal sanctions.
As of 10:00 p.m. this Wednesday, no entertainment centre is allowed to operate in Kano State.
The Censorship Board stated that this directive is part of its legal duty to regulate the entertainment sector and maintain moral order during the holy month.
The goal is to create a "peaceful and undisturbed environment" for the millions of Muslims who will be fasting and praying.
Note that this order specifically targets "entertainment outlets" like gala houses and music joints. (Standard event centres for weddings or conferences are usually handled differently, but all loud music is generally restricted).
