The Secretary to the Kano State Government, Umar Farouk Ibrahim, has officially launched a strategic 17-member committee aimed at shaping the future of Kano State’s investment landscape.
The inauguration, which took place Thursday in the SSG’s office, was carried out under the directive of the governor. This ambitious initiative seeks to create a roadmap for both domestic and foreign investment, unlocking valuable opportunities and establishing competitive markets across key sectors.
The plan will be presented at an upcoming international investment summit, which will be announced soon. The committee brings together a diverse group of experts from development, academia, private sectors, as well as government Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), and the Kano Emirate Council.
The team is led by Shehu Muhammad Dankadai, a renowned banker and economist (Sarkin Shanun Kano) as Chairman, with Muhammad Sagagi, a distinguished development economist and former Vice Chairman of the Presidential Economic Advisory Council, as co-Chairman.
The remaining members include influential figures such as Muhammad Nazir Halliru, Shehu Wada Sagagi, and Abduljabbar M. Umar, among others.
The committee’s core mandate is to review existing policies, identify priority sectors, and craft a 5-year strategic investment plan that attracts and retains both local and international investors.
They will design targeted strategies, propose innovative incentives, and set clear investment targets with performance indicators to evaluate progress. With just 7 weeks to submit their report, this committee is poised to make a lasting impact on the future of investment in Kano State.
