According to him, the agency, through the approval of the state governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, would hold an elaborate ceremony to unveil the plans, which he said, would create business enabling environment for investments to thrive in the state, which is the commercial nerve center of Northern Nigeria.
He also disclosed that the agency, under the leadership of the governor, would unveil an enlightenment campaign for local investors to invest in the state.
“This is very important because, in Kano state alone, we can have an individual that would invest in power that the whole state could depend on.
“We have wealthy people in Kano that could invest heavily in many areas of the economy. Sometimes we may only need foreign investors for advanced technology.”
The DG also disclosed that the governor’s investment agenda are yielding fruits as according to him, several investment proposals from companies to invest in Kano are underway.
