Represented by his Deputy Dr.Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, the Governor explained that the desire to attain the position of the most attractive trade state is clearly evident by examining the programmes and project embarked upon by the State Government in order to attract more investors from within and outside the country.

“Our administration as part of its dire need to change the outlook of markets and also to enable them compete favourably with international markets came up with the idea of ‘Yan Tebura Mall at Kantin Kwari Market which is one of its kind in the whole northern Nigeria,” he said.

“The cumulative effects of this project will be economic growth manifested in employment opportunities, job creation and income diversification thereby reducing poverty,”Ganduje said.

He further pointed out that despite the threat posed to continuing existence of commercial activities in the northern part of the country by insecurity challenges, his administration is not relenting its commitment to ensure the security of lives and investment in collaboration with security agencies that makes Kano one of the safest destinations.
