The Kaduna State Government has announced the appointment of His Highness, Muhammadu Sanusi II into the board of KADIPA, its investment promotion agency.

The state governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, in a press statement is said to have approved the reconstitution of the board of KADIPA. 

Established in 2015, KADIPA has led the investment drive of the state and anchored implementation of the Ease of Doing Business Charter that earned Kaduna State World Bank recognition as the Number One place for doing business in Nigeria, the statement noted.

It reads: “Malam Nasir El-Rufai has appointed His Highness, Muhammad Sanusi II into the board of KADIPA. The appointment is part of the reconstitution of the board of KADIPA, which is statutorily chaired by the Deputy Governor, and has as internal members senior officials of the Kaduna State Government.

“Governor El-Rufai said that Kaduna State hopes to benefit from the profile, experience, intellect and networks of His Highness, Muhammad Sanusi, who before becoming Emir, had built a solid reputation in global financial circles." 

Malam Nasir El-Rufai said that Kaduna State is honoured to be able to call on the services of a man of such calibre to drive its development.

The Governor also said he is confident that the new board, which includes the most senior officers of the state will further propel KADIPA to greater success in attracting investments to the state. He disclosed that the external members have been carefully chosen to further reinforce the investment credentials of the state.
