Governor Uba Sani has reiterated that the proposed $200 million Mega poultry project is expected to generate over $450 million annually and create more than 350,000 direct and indirect jobs in Kaduna State.
The Governor further noted that the project will strengthen food security, empower smallholder farmers, and position Kaduna State as a leading hub of modern agribusiness in Africa.
Governor Uba Sani, who made this known during a meeting with the Minister of Livestock Development, Alhaji Idi Mukhar Maiha, on Thursday, disclosed that the meeting aimed to align federal and state efforts ahead of the project’s groundbreaking.
The Governor of Kaduna State thanked President Bola Tinubu for choosing his state to lead the initiative.
It will be recalled that the Governor traveled to China on December 7, 2025, at the invitation of the Government of the People’s Republic of China, where he toured 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 precision that elevates agriculture into an exacting craft.
He said, visiting the facility, which produces nearly three million eggs each day, was ‘’a defining stride toward concluding our landmark USD $200 million poultry project in Kaduna State.’’
