Economy
Weak and declining Internally Generated Revenue base
Broken
The problem
Kano was already among the states with declining IGR earnings by 2015, the year Ganduje took office.
What was done
The decline was not reversed; by 2023 Kano's IGR of ₦40.5bn remained among the lowest of Nigeria's major states relative to its population.
Infrastructure
Multi-year infrastructure and development backlog
Partial
The problem
Kano entered the 2015-2020 planning period with a substantial infrastructure and development backlog, formalised in the state's own Kano State Development Plan II covering 2016-2020.
What was done
The administration committed roughly ₦1.24 trillion under KSDP II toward closing the gap, with a 68.6% capital-expenditure weighting, though completion against that full plan was not independently verified.
