Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has hailed the progress made on the Economic City project being developed in the state by Brains and Hammers.

Ganduje praised the firm when the Executive Director Ibrahim Bako briefed the State Executive Council on the status of the project.

A statement by the Head, Strategic Communication, Brains and Hammers, Onome Okwah, said the governor was delighted with the work done so far.

He commended them for the commitment shown in the timely delivery of the almost completed phase one of the pharmaceutical and information technology hub section of the economic city.

“Just as we are all aware that Brains and Hammers is at the forefront of this one-of-a-kind economic city project currently being developed in Kano State, it is a testament to the state’s resolve to harness the economic potentials for the good of all residents and visitors.

“My government’s resolve to make Kano State an African regional economic hub is supported by the development expertise of indigenous organisations like Brains and Hammers.

“When completed, this project would cover all spectrums of our economic life, from pharmaceutical distribution units to information technology hub, trailer parks for trucks and luxury buses, low-cost hotels for transit commuters and visitors, regional fruit market complete with refrigeration facilities, banks, and office complex. It would be a one-stop-shop for your economic activities.”

The executive director said the real estate developer was working tirelessly to complete phase 1 of the project in the next two months.

“This phase would include about one thousand (1000) shops in the pharmaceutical shops and about three thousand (3000) shops dedicated to information technology activities in the tech hub of the economic city. We are determined to make these facilities ready for commissioning by his Excellency before the end of the year.”
