The Kano State Executive Council, under the visionary leadership of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, has approved the Kano State Public–Private Partnership (PPP) Policy and PPP Manual for immediate implementation.
This landmark approval represents a significant milestone in Kano State’s investment and economic development agenda.
It sends a strong and reassuring signal to both local and international investors that Kano State is open, ready, and fully prepared to do business within a clear, transparent, and predictable Public–Private Partnership framework.
The newly approved PPP Policy and Manual provide a comprehensive roadmap for the identification, structuring, procurement, implementation, and management of PPP projects across the State.
Under this framework, the Kano State Investment and Promotion Agency (Kan-Invest) will serve as the central coordinating institution, ensuring institutional clarity, effective collaboration, and strict adherence to global best practices.
The PPP framework is designed to reduce investment risks, enhance transparency, strengthen accountability, and build investor confidence through consistency in project delivery.
It aligns squarely with the Governor’s vision of leveraging private sector participation to bridge Kano State’s infrastructure gap, stimulate economic activities, and drive sustainable development.
Commending the approval, the Director-General/Chief Executive Officer of Kan-Invest, Muhammad Nazir Halliru, described the decision as “bold, strategic, and timely,” noting that it clearly demonstrates the commitment of Governor Yusuf, to creating an enabling environment for investment, accelerating infrastructure delivery, and positioning Kano State as a preferred destination for both local and foreign investors.
He further applauded the Governor’s leadership and unwavering support for institutional reforms that promote transparency, accountability, and inclusive economic growth, stressing that the PPP framework will unlock private sector capital, generate employment opportunities, and deliver sustainable development outcomes for the people of Kano State.
Kan-Invest once again sincerely commends and appreciates Governor Yusuf, for this transformative step, which will accelerate development, attract investments, create jobs, and secure a prosperous future for Kano State.
