A press release by the office of The Governor of Kaduna State, Nigeria on 16 August 2023 has lauded the Embassy of Qatar and the Qatari-owned Sanabil Project for keying into the business-friendly environment inherent in Kaduna State and also choosing Kaduna in Nigeria to be the location of its Mega Economic City and a Mass Housing Project for vulnerable and underserved citizens.
In his remarks during the groundbreaking ceremony at Millennium City on 15 August 2023, the Governor, His Excellency Senator Uba Sani, detailed the objectives of the partnership between KDSG and Qatar “The Economic City will provide world-class infrastructure and make Kaduna a reference point in modern and affordable accommodation with adequate security and a conducive atmosphere for business activities. The Economic City will facilitate international trade while serving as a platform for local entrepreneurs and traders. It will also harness product value chain opportunities and improve economic growth. In the Economic City, there will be houses for the poor, clinics, shops, poultry farms, farmlands for rainy season and irrigation farming”.
Governor Sani, added that the Mass Housing Project was a major contribution towards providing shelter for the poor, underserved and vulnerable in Kaduna state, as it supports KDSG’s interventions in the housing sector over the years.
