Uba Sani, Governor of Kaduna State has said the proposed $200 million Kaduna Mega Poultry Project will generate over $450 million annually and create more than 350,000 direct and indirect jobs in Kaduna State.
The governor pointed out that the project would strengthen food security, empower smallholder farmers and position Kaduna State as a leading hub of modern agribusiness in Africa.
Governor Sani, who made this known when he met with Idi Mukhar Maiha, Minister of Livestock Development, on Friday, noted that the meeting was to align Federal and State Governments’ efforts ahead of the project’s groundbreaking, commending President Bola Tinubu for choosing Kaduna State to lead the initiative.
It will be recalled that the governor went to China on December 7, 2025 on the invitation of the Government of the People’s Republic of China where he undertook a tour of CP Foods Layers and Eggs (Beijing) Ltd.
The governor was guided through every tier of the company, from production, processing, packaging and distribution, with each stage reflecting a precision that elevates agriculture into an exacting craft.
He said that visiting the facility, which produces nearly three million eggs each day, was ‘’a defining stride towards concluding our landmark USD $200 million poultry project in Kaduna State.’
‘’In partnership with our Chinese counterparts, we are shaping an initiative that promises far more than increased output: it will deepen food security, broaden our agro-industrial base, catalyse durable employment, and position Kaduna as a continental exemplar of technologically empowered agribusiness”, he noted.
