44 Local Government Areas Most important commercial and industrial city of northern Nigeria Located between latitude 1225 to 1240N and longitude 835 to 845E Estimated population 9.38 million (2006 Census) Estimated population of Kano Metropolis approximately 4 million with approximately 1,000 inhabitants per sq km. Estimated population growth rate of 3% Migrant worker population increasing at the rate of 30 - 40% per annum (UNDP, 2004)

Introduction
Infrastructure: The internal architecture that enables any economy to function efficiently and Achieve sustainable growth
There is need to evaluate existing projects and prioritise activity along the following criteria:
Areas in which the new Administration can build on what is already in place, thus delivering early outcomes Economic impact on poverty reduction and global competitiveness Feasibility: technical and human resources that can impact on success Multiplier effect/catalytic impact: is the project capable of stimulating additional developments in other sectors Urgency Areas within the full Jurisdiction of the State

Water Supply - Direction Government has to recognise ownership interest as distinct from policy interest and the financial risk it takes. Delivery of proposed Tiga and Challawa Dams (12 MW). Alternate power supply low cost local oil generators for pumping of water at regulated periods. Provision of adequate reservoir facilities in line with water demand versus pumping capacity. Address distribution network. Appropriate tariffs linked to efficient supply Concession of services
Community managed water Schemes should encouraged in Small Towns and Rural Areas (e.g Wudil and Rogo models)
Sanitation
Efficient solid waste management in Kano City will create an immense positive impact and engender goodwill.
A well thought out Short term Programme involving reasonable public spending, can produce early results The programme must however be followed by a Longer term, more sustainable approach involving Public-Private Partnership Arrangements (may consider the Cross River State model 2003-2007) Estimated that Kano Metropolis generates over 3,000 tonnes of solid waste a day. Household waste generally organic and disease carrying accounts for 62.5% Institutions accounts for 5.8% Industries accounts for 2.9%
Sanitation - Indicators
Of the 62% household generated waste, 43% is said to be bio-degradable matter. High moisture content and organic composition leads to increased decomposition Old city alleys too narrow for traditional collection access (refuse trucks) Waste is left uncollected or carelessly deposited blocking drains Creates feeding ground for bacteria (e.g E-coli) resulting in diseases such as typhoid, diarrhoea and gastroenteritis 80% of Kano residents have little or no access to waste collection Recycling is limited Emission of dangerous gasses into the atmosphere Over 25,000 scavengers (informal recycling) in Kano Metropolis

Sanitation - Direction
Bio-degradable waste should be properly monitored and diverted into dumpsites and landfills. Adopt appropriate technology for processing waste into bio-fertilizers or a source of green energy. Formal involvement of government in informal waste collection will reduce youth unemployment and volumes of waste Promotion of waste recycling through consumer campaigns Guaranteed waste management services for a realistic fee Provision of designated waste collection sites. Innovation of waste evacuation methods from narrow old city alleys normally inaccessible to waste collection centres (e.g use of donkeys or hand pushed carts) Awareness programs for waste reduction and handling and the negative impact with regard to public health campaigns Campaign on responsibility of people as waste generators, based on social and cultural characteristics of the community Differences in living conditions necessitate local government level management instead of the current centralised agency (REMASAB)

Transportation - Indicators
We must address the current chaotic, unstable and indeed unhealthy urban transportation in Kano. The nuisance of the motorcycle and tricycle system constitutes a driving hazard and is not sustainable. Inadequate mass transit system Public dependent on use of privately owned low capacity vehicles. Traffic congestion and inadequate parking provision. Deteriorating roads Ad-hoc planning pf road networks
Transportation - Direction
A phased approach is recommended, commencing with key routes involving mass transit buses fully funded by KNSG for say the first 2 years
Provide a safe, efficient and cost effective mass transport service. Rehabilitation, improvement and expansion of road furniture to enhance sanity and safety on our roads. Update database for all vehicles registered in Kano State to assist in tracking of traffic violators. Intensive enforcement of road worthiness test. Engage vagrant youth in enforcement of traffic control (Yan daba/Area boys in Lagos). Evolve a private sector led multi modal and integrated transport system. Create an enabling environment for PPP through enactment of appropriate legislation and policies. Invite private investors to take over the initial investment and expand the service. KNSG can study the Lagos Model
Opportunity to Make a Difference Alignment with FGN The New Administration is well placed to align its Infrastructure Development Strategy with that of the FGN

Financing Infrastructure
Explore areas of increased revenue generation (Lagos State has increased its IGR to 60% of the States Revenue)
Fundng Options: On budget public funding: should have minimal input in infrastructure funding and rather provide for social services. Off budget public funding: enhance statutory allocation to provide speedy and timely completion for priority projects. E.g excess crude account, intervention funds, FGN bonds. Viability gap funding: provided to fill funding gaps required to make infrastructure projects commercially viable and bankable to attract private sector investment. Private sector resources However, no matter how much revenue government raises, it is unlikely to meet the States demand for Infrastructure. Public- Private Partnerships (PPP) must be explored. PPPs have been recognized and adopted for Infrastructure financing by nearly all countries across the World Public-Private Partnership is a contractual agreement between a public agency (federal, state or local) and a private sector entity. Through this agreement, the skills and resources of each sector (public and private) are shared in delivering a service or facility for the use of the general public. In addition to the sharing of resources, both parties share in the risks and rewards in the delivery of the service and/or facility.

Financing Infrastructure: Benefits of the PPP Option Maximizes use of private sector finance and skills Private sector takes life cycle cost risk Risks allocated to party best able to manage or absorb each risk Forces public sector to focus on outputs and benefits from the start Quality of service has to be maintained for life of PPP Public sector only pays when services delivered Encourages development of specialist skills and innovation Alleviates chronic underinvestment in capital intensive projects and allows off balance sheet borrowing

Doing Business in Nigeria 2010the second sub-national report in the series following Doing Business in Nigeria 2008The report focuses on state and national regulations that affect 4 stages in the life of a small to medium-size domestic firm: starting a business dealing with construction permits registering property enforcing contracts.
Kano State made the most progress since 2008, with reforms in 3 out of 4 areas measured Kano State is among the top 10 easiest cities to do business in Nigeria The New administration must build on this
