Governor Ganduje Approves Free Land for Kano Indigenes in Diaspora

Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano state has said the state government  would provide free land for the state indigenes in diaspora to develop residential building where they will reunite with their families especially during holiday visits.

“We are doing this to our citizens some of whom have been away for very long time and when they come visiting during holidays, they need spaces to settle and meet their families and loved ones,” he said.

He made the commitment during a virtual Kano in Diaspora Town Hall Meeting organised by the Office of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Foreign Investment and Diaspora, Hajiya Hama Aware, which held on Saturday.

A statement signed by the commissioner for information, Malam Muhammad Garba indicated that already, there has been a plan by the state government to grant land and tax incentives to would-be investors in the diaspora in order to promote economic investments in various sectors in the state.

Ganduje said land acquisition has been made easy and speedy with the removal of bureaucracies involved as well as a wide variety of tax incentives to encourage investments to boost the economy of the state.
