The Kano State Task Force on Tourism Development Levy has banned women and men from swimming in the same pool.
The Task Force also banned underage children from going to hotels, as well as smoking of shisha in the state. The committee also reviewed the laws regulating hotels, restaurants and event centres in the state.
According to Politics Digest, the Chairman of the Committee, Baffa Babba Dan-agundi, said this after a meeting with the owners of hotels, restaurants and event centres to inform them of the new development.
The committee informed them of a new levy by the state government that will help in sanitizing their places of business for the purpose of avoiding acts of prostitution in the state.
“Part of our term of reference is to stop underage children from entering hotels without their parents, banning of shisha smoking, swimming between men and women in the pool, lesbianism and gay practises.
The committee will further oversee the activities of DJs at wedding ceremonies and event centres. All events centres should be closed by 11pm,” he said.
