According to him, KADIPA surpassed its 2022 set target of $500 million worth of investments in the first quarter and the board increased the investment portfolio to $1 billion.

‘’We recorded $112.7 million in announced pledges bringing the 2nd quarter figures to a total of $148.7 million, thereby increasing the state’s total investment portfolio to $4.35 billion, representing a 3.6% growth for the quarter. The chief objective for all these is job creation,’’ he added.

Malam Khalil also said that KADIPA ‘’ facilitated the investments of 18 companies and recommended them to KADGIS for land allocation. We handed over sites to investors in Kubau LGA, the Kangimi Layout, GAAIZ, Rabah Link Road and the Afaka layout, all of which have mobilized to site.’’

The 28 year old Executive Secretary, expressed gratitude to Governor Nasir El-Rufai for believing in the capacity of the youths, just as he thanked the Deputy Governor of Kaduna state and Chair of the KADIPA Board, Dr Hadiza Balarabe, and the Vice Chairman, Khalifa Muhammadu Sanusi II, for their support, advice and direction to the agency.

Similarly, Malam Khalil thanked his predecessors for their efforts, the Commissioner of Business, Innovation and Technology, Professor Kabir Mato, the Local Organising Committee of KadInvest 7.0 as well as the management and staff of KADIPA for making the last KadInvest successful.

Khalil listed the initiatives that KADIPA has embarked on that enabled its achievements in the last one year.

‘’We organized Peer Learning Sessions with South Africa, Ghana, Rwanda, and DFID-LINKS Due Diligence Workshop. We are actively looking for opportunities to learn.

‘’We rejigged our media infrastructure and embarked on strategic promotional interviews to advertise Kaduna state and the investment opportunities with national TV networks, national dailies, and radio stations both in English and Hausa,” he added.

The ES pointed out that KADIPA’s renewed investment drive encourages creativity, adding that ‘’this is why our investor targeting has been deliberate and strategic.

According to him, ‘’we regularly engage embassies, developmental agencies for partnership and capacity building initiatives.’’

‘’To promote networking amongst businesspersons in the state, we organize quarterly Business World Breakfast where we meet with business people in the state and listen to their challenges.

‘’And to ensure that businesses in the state are retained and encouraged to expand, we carryout weekly AfterCare services, where we visit businesses within the state to hear their challenges and understand areas the Kaduna State Government can help remove encumbrances,’’ he added.

The Executive Secretary recalled that the recently held 7th edition of Kaduna State Economic and Investment Summit (KadInvest 7.0) was successful.

‘’We launched the Kaduna Livestock Regulatory Authority (KADLRA) Regulations. The Ginger Investment Policy and Strategic Framework GIPS (GIZ). And the Film Village Project, with the signing of MoU with KADCCIMA and KDSG on using the trade fair complex by the creative art sector,’’ he said.

Khalil recalled that Governor Nasir El-Rufai also commissioned eight projects, including the N2 billion Falgates Foods’ Rice Mill with 100, 000 metric ton capacity per annum, located at Sobawa, Rigachikun.

According to him, the governor also commissioned the AFEX’s Aggregation and Processing Centre, an agricultural commodity warehouses and multi-grains processing plant, to help farmers in the state prepare and market their produce.

A computerized vehicle inspection services center located at Mando, which provides automated checks for all vehicle types was also commissioned, he recalled.

In addition, El-Rufai also commissioned the Kaduna Galaxy Mall, ‘’a multipurpose shopping mall that houses food courts and cinemas for Kaduna residents to shop and have a good time,’’ he said.
