A whole lot has been done. We are following our economic blueprint and things are changing.

On his part, the Kano governor, Ganduje said that the summit would enhance economic activities of the State. “The economic summit is coming up on the 24 of April. We are grateful to Mr President for bringing peace and stability to Nigeria, especially for fighting the insurgency in the North east of Nigeria, that is main economic hindrance especially here in the North.

Having attained a high degree of stability now, I think it is imperative to open our doors, Kano being the commercial nerve centre of the North and the commercial nerve centre of some West African countries.
