The Kano state government is teaming up with fraym on new data engine to accelerate economic outcomes in the state. This announcement was made during a one-day seminar for the revitalization of economic and social development in Kano state . The seminar was organized by Fraym, a USA-based organization, and took place at City Kings Hotels and Tower, Farm Centre in Kano.
Representing the Deputy Governor, Hon. Commissioner of Information and Internal Affairs Hon. Baba Halilu Dantiye emphasized the state government’s strong commitment to education, highlighting it as the foundation of meaningful development.
Additionally, Alh. Shehu Mohammed, Chairman of the Kano Emirate Council Advisory Committee on Economic and Social Matters and the Sarkin Shanu of Kano, reiterated the council’s dedication to economic empowerment for the people of Kano state. He acknowledged the economic challenges facing the state and Nigeria as a whole, which he attributed to a lack of interest in the viability of Kano’s economic ideas.
The Fraym leader, Mr. Ben Leo, highlighted new research that shows untapped opportunities to significantly increase employment levels across Kano. The seminar was attended by traditional title holders, local government officials, and business community representatives.
This partnership with fraym on the new data engine is a significant step towards driving economic growth and development in Kano state. The state government’s focus on education and economic empowerment, combined with the expertise of Fraym, is expected to bring about positive change in the region.
