A financial organisation, Norrenberger Financial Groups has opened a regional office in Kano State in an effort to boost financial inclusion, literacy and job creation in the state.
At the grand opening ceremony on Thursday in Kano, the group managing director of the organisation, Anthony Edeh, emphasised on the viable nature of the state, both economically and politically, with a population of approximately 20 million people, making it an excellent state for business.
He said the organisation would provide extensive financial inclusion, access to deeper financing instruments, investment instruments, and provide immediate job for 250 people in the state.
“We plan to engage about 250 people, cutting across insurance, pensions, and asset management. In terms of Agriculture, particularly in investment in the state – we’ve just gotten a federal government approval to cultivate about a thousand hectares of arable land for agriculture which is going to hire upward of a thousand people.
“The amount of investment we’re bringing to Kano is in excess of five billion. In addition to that, we have this iconic office to symbolise our belief in the northern region in general,” he stated.
In his remarks, the organisation’s managing director, asset management, Pabina Yinkere, said about 60 percent of people in the state don’t have direct access to financial advisory, financial services or are financially excluded, hence, the organisation has brought financial solution in a simplified way for the teaming population of the state.
He said the financial Groups, provides services in asset management, international energy insurance, pensions, agriculture and infrastructure bank.
