Firm to float N8bn Kano Dalar Gyada market

A real estate development company, M. N. Ataj Construction Limited, in partnership with Aventus Industries Limited, is set to float a world class market on the exact location of the famous and historical Groundnut Pyramids in Kano.

A Director with M.N Ataj Construction, Engr. Rabiu Sa’id, said his company and Aventus Industries had decided to pool resources together and would spend approximately N8 billion for the construction of the Dalar Gyada Market which would take approximately months.

Engr. Sa’id said turning the historic location into a world class market would help generate revenue internally for the government, as well as improve the livelihood of the people of Kano.

He said, “Considering there is no other market as sophisticated and classy as Dalar Gyada in Kano, this is a positive step in the right direction to encourage more economic activities and attract investment into the state. Developing a market of this scale with state-of-the-art facilities and architecture will generally boost domestic 20 and international economic growth of the state.”

The Dalar Gyada Market is located in the heart of Kano State. It is strategically in the middle of all existing markets in Kano. It is just a few meters away from each of these markets: Kasuwar Kwari, Kasuwar Wambai, Kasuwar Kurmi, Kasuwar Singer, Sabon Gari Market and Hajj Camp.

Engr. Sa’id further said the Dalar Gyada Market would have more than 4,000 shops and over 100 blocks of open shops, lock-up shops, warehouses and banking halls.
