The Kano State Government has signed ten Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) with various companies and investors for some major development projects across the state.

At the closing ceremony of the second edition of the State’s Economic Summit and Investments, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje said one of the MoU was targetted at the construction of the N146 billion Kano economic city by Brain and Hammers Nigeria Limited.

“This will, in turn, help us come up with more development projects for our people. That is why we have also given agriculture a meaningful priority because we believe, through agriculture, we can revive our rural economy.”
