Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has said that his administration’s drive to attract global partners is already bringing benefits in education, healthcare, and investment.
Speaking on the outcome of Kano’s participation at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA80) in New York, the governor explained that the state has opened new opportunities for school feeding programmes, health interventions, and foreign investments.
The governor was represented at the global event by the Emir of Kano, His Highness Khalifah Muhammad Sanusi II, and the Director-General of the Kano State Investment Promotion Agency (Kan-Invest), Muhammad Naziru Halliru.
“Our investment agenda is already yielding results. By building global partnerships, we are strengthening our economy, improving the wellbeing of our people, and laying the foundation for sustainable development,” he said.
At the sidelines of UNGA80, Emir Sanusi met with Kenyan entrepreneur Wawira Njiru, founder and CEO of Food4Education, to explore collaboration on school feeding in Kano, including access to African Development Bank (AfDB) funds.
Kano’s delegation also featured in key investment and development forums, including the Global Compact: Unstoppable Africa, the Cavista Holdings/Corporate Council on Africa Summit, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Goalkeepers Event.
The governor further revealed that the state will soon unveil a five-year multi-sectoral investment strategic plan to attract investors, boost revenue, and expand opportunities.
