Governor Nasir El-Rufai has charged the Kaduna Investment Promotion Agency, to redouble its efforts in making Kaduna State the topmost investment destination in Nigeria, by improving its Ease of Doing Business ranking.
The governor disclosed that KADIPA has been a very important and successful vehicle in the investment drive of the state, helping since 2015 to attract over $2.1bn in actual and pledged investments. It will be recalled that the World Bank had rated Kaduna state as the best sub-national in its 2018 Ease of Doing Business ranking and in 2020, the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission ranked the state as the first in the quantum of foreign direct investment attracted within the first six months of the year.
