Today, I had the privilege to represent His Excellency, Gov. Abba Kabir Yusuf at the Nigeria–UAE Investment Forum (INVESTOPIA Global Africa) in Lagos, a high-level engagement convened by the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, in collaboration with the Ministry of Investment and the Ministry of Economy and Tourism of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), following the conclusion of the Nigeria–UAE Economic Partnership Agreement.
The forum reflects our shared ambition to deepen trade, expand investment flows, and strengthen long-term economic cooperation between both countries in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Kano is strategically positioned to benefit from this partnership, given its historic role as Nigeria’s commercial nerve centre, its large and dynamic market, growing manufacturing sector, and Kano First reforms under Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to improve the state’s ease of doing business.

Today, the Kano State Executive Council under the leadership of our amiable principal, the people’s Governor, His Excellency, Gov. Abba K. Yusuf, has approved the Kano State Public–Private Partnership (PPP) Policy and PPP Manual for immediate implementation.
This landmark approval represents a significant turning point in Kano’s investment journey, by sending a strong signal to local and international investors that Kano State is open, ready, and prepared to do business under clear, transparent, and predictable PPP frameworks.
The newly approved PPP policy and manual provide a clear roadmap for how PPP projects will be identified, structured, procured, and managed, with the Kan-Invest playing a central coordinating role. The framework strengthens institutional clarity, reduces risks, enhances transparency, and, most importantly, builds investor confidence by ensuring consistency and accountability in project delivery.
This bold step underscores the Governor’s commitment to inclusive growth across various sectors to close the state’s infrastructure gap, private sector participation, and long-term economic sustainability.
Once again, we sincerely commend and appreciate His Excellency, Gov. Abba K Yusuf for this strategic decision that will accelerate development, create jobs, and secure a prosperous future for Kano State.

Today, Kan-Invest successfully concluded a two-day rigorous capacity building on Public Private Partnerships (PPP) with the support of PACE program, for Deputy Directors and Technical Officers from key MDAs in Kano State — including the Ministries of Land and Physical Planning, Works, Transport, Justice, Environment & Climate Change, Health, Education, Power & Renewable Energy, Livestock Development, Agriculture, Procurement, Monitoring & Evaluation, among others.
The training was aimed at building the skills of the civil servants to operationalize PPP investments in the state, covering critical areas necessary for effective PPP delivery in Kano. These include the legal and institutional framework, identifying sector infrastructure deficits and investment opportunities, improving project preparation and bankability, risk sharing, etc. as contained in the validated PPP policy and manual.
In my remarks, I emphasized the visionary commitment of His Excellency, Gov. Abba Kabir Yusuf, toward infrastructural development under the urban renewal project and his plans to reduce infrastructural deficits in the state. I also encouraged participants to maximize this golden opportunity to master the PPP framework, as they are the frontline drivers across their sectors in project identification and harnessing the vast investment potential within the state.
Kan-Invest remains dedicated to building strong institutions, and positioning Kano as a leading investment destination in the country.

Last week, I visited TilFoods’ multi-billion naira tomato processing and packaging plant in Kura LGA, Kano, as part of our ongoing investment aftercare service program.
The plant, which will be commissioned soon, will process about 65 metric tonnes of fresh tomatoes daily under the brand name Tomatil. It stands as a remarkable testament to Kano’s growing agro-industrial capacity.
The visit reflects our commitment to supporting and sustaining existing investments to ensure they align with the vision of His Excellency, Gov. Abba K Yusuf’s investment agenda, for a vibrant, and industrially driven state.
TilFoods embodies the kind of innovation, value addition, and job creation that reinforce Kano’s position as a leading destination for agribusiness and manufacturing in Nigeria.
We remain dedicated to nurturing an enabling environment where investors thrive, industries expand, and our people prosper.
