Kaduna State has solidified its position as a leading investment destination in Nigeria, thanks to Governor Uba Sani’s infrastructural development and land administration reforms. The state climbed to second place nationwide in the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) Subnational Ease of Doing Business ranking, up from eighth in 2023, with a 65.1% score across 16 indicators.
Speaking at a press briefing, Commissioner for Business Innovation and Technology, Mrs Patience Fakai, credited the achievement to the governor’s reform-oriented leadership and private-sector-focused policies. Key initiatives include streamlining business approvals, digitising services, and strengthening the Kaduna Investment Promotion Agency (KADIPA) to support investors.
Kaduna’s improved ranking has also boosted its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) from N62 billion in 2023 to over N71 billion in 2025, with projections to double in 2026. The state aims to claim the top spot by 2027.
