The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has called on global investors to take advantage of Nigeria’s expanding economic landscape, describing the country as a prime destination for high-yield investments across key sectors.
Speaking at the International Financial Investment and Trade Conference in Tunisia, Emir Sanusi emphasized that Nigeria offers promising returns in manufacturing, agriculture, ICT, innovation, and financial services, thanks to its resilient economy and competitive markets.
In a statement released by Munir Sanusi Bayero, the Galadiman Kano and Chief of Staff to the Emir, Sanusi stressed the need for international investors to explore Nigeria’s business environment, which he said is ripe for strategic and long-term investment.
The former Central Bank Governor noted that Nigeria remains one of Africa’s fastest-growing economies.
He pointed to the success story of business magnate Aliko Dangote as a demonstration of how the Nigerian economy can support and scale global business ambitions.
“Sanusi essentially appealed to business and investment giants to tap from the robust economy with enabling environments in the areas of manufacturing, agriculture, ICT, innovation, and finance,” the statement read.
Highlighting the investment prospects in his home state, the Emir described Kano as a hub for commerce and industry, citing its population of over 22 million, abundant natural resources, and strategic trade routes.
He said Kano’s well-established markets already serve numerous countries across West and Central Africa.
Sanusi concluded by urging investors to look beyond traditional markets and consider Nigeria—particularly Kano—as la gateway to unlocking Africa’s vast economic potential.
