The Jigawa State Government has approved the sum of N1 billion to acquire a 10 percent stake in the Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO).
The Commissioner for Information, Youths, Sports, and Culture, Sagir Musa, disclosed this during a press briefing after the state executive council meeting.

“The MoU focuses on ensuring a stable electricity supply to Tier 1 urban centers and achieving rural electrification across the state by 2028,” he said.
The commissioner also revealed that the council approved a N595 million contract for the installation of solar-powered streetlights in semi-urban areas.
The project will be executed under the supervision of the Ministry of Power and Energy.
