Many goods (imported & locally produced) are cheaper in Kano than in almost evry city in Nigeria, including the coastal municipalities from which these goods are imported

One of d reasons is the continues existence of the ‘Guilds of merchants’ as an important economic fabric of Kano.

It's nice, but does the people have access to portable water

The competition between states should be how well the people fared

Anything short of this, is failure!!!

Wiseandtrue you are just looking for something to criticize...
But over 70 percent of Kano metropolis has access to portable water and most of the remote areas are equipped with borehole facilities...
You can't expect something to be 100% a B grade suffice for excellence...
If you are living down south and have been hearing negative news about kano then that's mostly false...
NYSC members from South mostly settle in Kano after service because of the friend environment with numerous opportunities for entrepreneurs

On the contrary bro, I love it when a government is people centered as it should be.

If this facilities is also extended to the grassroots, the rural areas then it's fantastic

There's nothing wrong in having 100%, those remaining 30% shouldn't be neglected, they should feel the presence of the government too.

I love what I saw anyways

The 11th interesting fact about Kano is that there are massive number of kids thrown out to fend for themselves on the streets due to irresponsible parenting and social system. Just tried to lend a helping hand since you forgot that part.
