Economic city planned for Kano

Posted on: Fri, 30 Nov 2007


The concept behind the KEC came from the Kano State government and Integrated Development and Investment Services Limited (IDIS). Financing is being provided by a consortium of foreign and domestic banks, with Oceanic Bank as the lead financier.

When finished, the project will feature:

  • a five-star hotel
  • residential and industrial estates
  • a shopping mall
  • a world trade centre
  • a retail market consisting of 5,500 lock-up shops
  • warehouses
  • cinema halls
  • conference facilities
  • a rail terminus
  • fuel and fire stations
  • a maintenance building

    The project will be constructed on the outskirts of Kano and will eventually occupy a space of 350 hectares.
