The One Kano Agenda has reaffirmed its commitment to promoting unity, progress, and a collective vision for a prosperous Kano State driven by competent leadership, informed citizens, and sustainable development.
In a statement signed by its Director of Media and Publicity, Abubakar Dangambo, the movement emphasized that its agenda remains rooted in inclusiveness, civic consciousness, and forward-thinking leadership that prioritizes Kano above personal, sectional, or political interests. Dangambo noted that “Kano’s future must be built by all of us, and benefitted by all of us.”
As part of its efforts to deepen dialogue on Kano’s development, the One Kano Agenda announced a Two-Day Conference expected to bring together key stakeholders, policymakers, business leaders, youth groups, development partners, civil society organizations, and influential thinkers to deliberate on the state’s economic and political direction.
The conference will open with an economic-focused session aimed at repositioning Kano as a regional economic powerhouse. Participants will discuss revitalizing local industries and SMEs, attracting investment, strengthening commerce, and rebuilding economic confidence. The movement said Kano must draw lessons from successful states such as Lagos, whose long-term vision continues to shape sustainable growth. The session is expected to produce actionable recommendations that can boost job creation, entrepreneurship, infrastructure development, and wealth-creation opportunities.

On the second day, discussions will shift to Kano’s political environment. The political dialogue will explore ways to strengthen leadership quality, promote youth participation, encourage political re-orientation, reduce manipulation and violence, and advance issue-based politics anchored on development. The organizers said reshaping political culture is essential to building a united, peaceful, and stable Kano State.
Describing the conference as a needed intervention at a decisive moment in Kano’s history, the One Kano Agenda noted that the state is at a crossroads and requires deliberate planning, honest engagement, and collaborative action to secure its future. The movement called on professionals, youth, community leaders, religious institutions, business owners, and the general public to participate and contribute to shaping Kano’s next chapter.
“Together, we can redefine our future. Together, we are One Kano,” the statement added.
