Governor Abba Kabir, represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Umar Farouk, described the signing as a renewed social contract between the Kano State Government, FCDO and citizens, emphasising transparency, accountability, and shared responsibility.


On her part, the Development Director, Nigeria, British High Commission Abuja, Cynthia Rowe, said the FCDO remains committed to supporting Kano’s vision for inclusive development.


The KanMAF will continue to be reviewed and reassessed to ensure it's a reflection of the UK and Kano Government’s realities.
