During the visit, Governor Yusuf is scheduled to meet with the Moroccan Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Energy to explore Morocco’s achievements in agricultural transformation and renewable energy development.
Discussions will center on the transfer of agricultural technologies, fertilizer production models, and renewable energy solutions that can be adapted to Kano’s developmental priorities.
The Governor will also engage with the Moroccan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, where he will present investment opportunities in Kano across sectors such as agribusiness, energy, and tourism, inviting Moroccan investors to consider Kano as a gateway to West African markets.
