Kano: Ado Bayero Mall Announces New Tenant, Ni9ne

The Management of Ado Bayero Mall in Kano has announced the addition of a new anchor tenant, Ni9ne Global Enterprise, trading as “NI9NE.” Covering an expansive area of 5,000 square metres, Ni9ne will specialise in household electronics, kitchen wares, computers, furniture, do-it-yourself tools/equipment, packaged foods, and a comprehensive range of white goods.

The unveiling of Ni9ne Global comes in the wake of the departure of the former anchor tenant, Shoprite, from the Mall and the city of Kano. Following Shoprite’s exit, the Mall’s management had revealed ongoing negotiations with new retail chains to occupy the vacant space left by the departing tenant.

The arrival of Ni9ne Global Enterprise, a division of the Sunbelt Wax Group collaborating with Nigerian partners, signifies the fruition of these discussions. The enterprise operates across various sectors, including manufacturing, retail, logistics, and hospitality businesses.

Ni9ne Global is swiftly establishing a solid presence in the Kano market with its unique business model of “Factory to Customers,” offering quality products at competitive prices directly to consumers.

Sunbelt Wax Group, a multinational corporation presently operating in China, Nigeria, and Uganda, backs Ni9ne’s ventures.
