Description

LINKS will support development of a vibrant and diversified economy in the three key northern Nigerian states of Kano, Kaduna and Jigawa, with these collectively acting as a powerful engine of northern economic growth. Benefits will be both for the states themselves, while also creating real market opportunities for the wider north, counterbalancing the wealth and investment that is currently primarily found in Lagos and the South. LINKS will raise the incomes of at least 3,000,000 people in northern Nigeria, also supporting the creation of 100,000 full time equivalent jobs, and contributing to a 15% rise in potentially taxable private sector revenues.
