Kano is presently the most peaceful state in Nigeria, says Ganduje

Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has described the state as the most peaceful, not only in the north but in the entire country despite the spate of insecurity bedevilling Nigeria as many people have currently relocated to the state as a result.

This was just as Ganduje explained that the state is a commercial-friendly state that attracts investors from different parts of the world thereby giving job opportunity to the populace.

Speaking on behalf of Governor Ganduje, the Special Adviser to the governor on Rural Development, Dr Ibrahim Gaya on Wednesday at the opening ceremony of Domino Pizza in Kano, assured the company that they will not regret coming to Kano.

He said: “No one will entertain any fear coming to do business in Kano because of the friendly nature of the people who don’t discriminate.”

Ganduje further explained that the state is a commercial-friendly state that attracts investors from different parts of the world thereby giving job opportunity to the populace.

“Governor Abdullahi Ganduje sends his goodwill message to you and assures you that you are most welcome to Kano State.”

He also assures that Kano State is the most secured state in the entire country, not just the north. In the meantime, many people have relocated to Kano. This is as a result of the support the state is enjoying from the traditional leaders as well as the security operatives in the state.

He, however, urged the company to endeavour opened similar outlets in the other four emirate zones, namely Gaya, Rano Bichi and Karaye, saying there is a population to patronize the company.

Earlier, the Chief Executive Officer of Domino Pizza, Patrick Micheal said they have invested a total of N1 billion in Kano and are also engaging in giving back to the community where they have sponsored 1100 students annually from 2020 to 2021 with the hope of increasing a hundred annually.

His words: “We have the ‘Eat and Go’ foundation under which we have sponsored 1100 school students in 2020 and 1200 in 2021 and hope to be increasing annually.

“I believe in giving back to the community and have chosen education which is a means of supporting the development of the country.

“We have a total of 130 outlets across Nigeria and in Kano alone, we have employed 134 workers and hope to expand in the near future.

“We are happy to be in Kano because the state is business-friendly and meets any investor’s requirement,” says the CEO.
