Deposed Emir of Kano Emirates, Mohammed Sanusi II, has been appointed as Vice Chairman of the Kaduna Investment Promotion Agency (KADIPA) by the governor of the State, Nasir El-Rufai.
The Kaduna State governor also charged the agency to redouble its efforts in making the State the topmost investment destination in Nigeria, by improving its Ease of Doing Business ranking.
Speaking at the formal inauguration of the board of the agency, El Rufai formally welcomed Sanusi II to the board.
He also thanked Sanusi II, a former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, for accepting to serve the people of Kaduna state.
Governor El-Rufai said that the agency has been a very important and successful vehicle in the investment drive of Kaduna, and has extracted over$2.1 billion in actual and pledged investments since 2015.
He further noted that KADIPA will be competing not just with other states in Nigeria for investments but with all emerging markets.
Responding to his appointment during the occasion, Sanusi II expressed delight at attending its first meeting since he was made a member and promised to contribute his best to uplifting KADIPA.
