Governor
Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano state has appointed the Kano Emir, Muhammadu
Sanusi II, to chair the newly inaugurated Kano Investment Advisory Committee,
with the view to identifying strategies for making the state economically
viable.
The governor hinted that the
overall wisdom behind the Committee was to take the advantage of the
personality of the Emir, arguing that, “We need to take the advantage of his
personality around the globe.”
Ganduje added that sometimes
it could be difficult to separate between investments and personalities,
“…hence our resolve to work with the Emir,” he said.
He made the revelation during
inauguration ceremony of the Committee, held at Government House, Kano, in the
presence of members of the state executive council and members and the Emirate
Council, Kano.
Unlocking constraints that hinder the progress of the economic potentials of
the state, facilitating inflow of foreign and domestic investments and working
with the federal and state governments in addressing concerns that impede the
economic progress of the state, were amongst the terms of reference given to
the committee.
Ganduje further assured that,
the state government would do everything possible to make sure that committee’s
work was integrated with the policy direction of his administration.
Assuring further that, they
would work with the private organisations and other relevant organisations to
enhance the economic viability of the state.
Committee’s work was also
extended to advising government on the best practices in the economic
development of the state, coupled with submitting periodic report to
government.
On his part, the Emir of Kano
assured the governor that they would discharge their given responsibilities
with all sense of responsibility and ownership. He also commended the governor
for the good initiative.
Members of the committee were
drawn from the business community, government agencies and the Emirate Council.
