Kano State Government Thursday began payment of compensation to landowners to kick-start the federal government’s N4 billion solar project for the industrial hub in the Kumbotso area of the state. The project, a 10 megawatts (MW) solar power, was conceived by the federal government as a result of the importance of generation and supply of electricity in the country to the economic development of the states. While handing over the over N42 million compensation to the over 100 beneficiaries at the palace of the District Head of Kumbotso, the contact person of the project in Kano, Dr. Jibrilla Mohammed said the contribution of the state government was to provide the necessary facility including the over 43 hectares of land for the establishment of the project. Mohammed, who is also the MD/CEO of Kano State Investment and Properties Ltd (KSIP), said the federal government gave the responsibility of managing the project to the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) and “the project has already been paid for completely, over N4 billion. However, the arrangement is that while the federal government has taken 100 per cent of the cost of the project, the state and the local government are supposed to contribute. “A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) was formed called Askay Solar Power Ltd and 80 per cent of the shares go to the federal government while the states and local governments get 15 per cent and five per cent.” https://dailytrust.com/fg-begins-n4bn-kano-solar-project mynd44 jam4j lalasticlala

Congratulations to the FG's First son...

ok

42million?? Land is too cheap in the North

Another FG assisted project to Kano-Kaduna again with Niger Delta money


This has been going on since 1960, whether it's a refinery, water project, solar, tech, they must see excuse to give Kano Kaduna

I have always said it. this is what the north needs and not some useless pipeline project taking oil to them for some stupid refinery idea.

Build the solar or wind arrays of about 10-25 MW and build industrial estates around it. if done well the profit from one will be used to start another and that's how they will get ahead of the south. With clean energy and not some useless crude theft conspiracy they are brandishing as one Nigeria with some phantom nonnegotiable unity.

You could not more correct. When Oligarchy governments of Nigeria tend to spread development to northern region only, that breads contempt. How can governments and successive government of Nigeria for northern region keep spending commonwealth on northern region yet some airheads will preach restructure to me which terminates at the level of government. The only option left for Nigeria is total and unconditional disintegration.
