According to him, “Network expansion and power generation are some of the company’s major plans to improve power supply in an accelerated fashion, especially in areas such as Dawanau International Grains Market, which is the largest in sub-Saharan Africa with numerous cottage industries.”
He added that the company is prioritizing the Dawanau project among a string of similar projects due to its current dilapidated network, leaving the area underserved and hindering the potential of the market as a catalyst for economic growth in Kano State and the northern part of Nigeria.
