WHY NIGERIA – KADUNA STATE
Kaduna is one of the major states in Nigeria. One etymological account states that Kaduna derived its name from the Gbayi ethnic group, which has lived there for centuries.

Another source states that it derived its name from the Hausa word for crocodile, Kada.

While the actual account can never be established, its diversity, geographic importance and rich history cannot be in doubt.
Kaduna state produces cotton and peanuts (groundnuts) for export. Other cash crops include shea nuts, ginger, and peppers; vegetables grown in the riverine floodplains, brown sugar processed locally from sugarcane; onions; and soybeans.

Cattle, chickens, guinea fowl, and sheep are raised, and hides and skins are ALSO tanned for export.

Kaduna, the state capital, is Nigeria’s largest textile-manufacturing centre and has other major industries as well, including an oil refinery. Another industrial centre, Zaria, processes tobacco and cotton seed and manufactures textiles, bicycles, and printed matter.

Traditional crafts, especially cotton weaving and dyeing (with locally grown indigo), leather processing, raffia weaving, and pottery designing (notably among the Gbari), also retain considerable economic importance.

Tin mining continues near Kafanchan on the western edge of the Jos Plateau, and tantalite is also found there.

SO WHY NOT INVEST IN KADUNA STATE TODAY?
