The Kano State Investment Promotion Agency (KANINVEST) and the Nigerian Commodity Exchange (NCX) have agreed to strengthen their partnership to attract new investments, improve agricultural commodity markets, and drive economic growth in Kano State.
The agreement was reached during a meeting at the KANINVEST headquarters in Kano, where Anthony Atuche, Managing Director of the Nigerian Commodity Exchange, led the exchange’s management team on a courtesy visit to Muhammad Nazir Halliru, Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of KANINVEST.
The discussions focused on expanding commodity trading, promoting value addition, improving market access for agricultural produce, and creating a more attractive investment environment for domestic and foreign investors.
Muhammad Nazir Halliru said Kano remains one of Nigeria’s leading commercial centres with significant investment opportunities in agriculture, livestock production, agro-processing, and commodity trading.
He noted that the presence of the Dawanau International Grain Market, one of Africa’s largest grain markets, positions Kano as a strategic hub for agricultural exports and commodity exchange.
