Mega poultry project to create 350,000 jobs – Gov Uba Sani

Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has said the proposed $200 million Mega Poultry Project in the state will create over 350,000 direct and indirect jobs, positioning agriculture as a major driver of employment and economic growth.

The governor disclosed this on Thursday during a meeting with the Minister of Livestock Development, Alhaji Idi Mukhtar Maiha, as both parties moved to align federal and state efforts ahead of the project’s groundbreaking.

Governor Sani said the project is expected to generate more than $450 million annually, while strengthening food security and opening up opportunities across the poultry value chain, including feed production, processing, packaging, transportation and marketing.

According to him, the scale of the investment will absorb thousands of youths and smallholder farmers, while deepening agribusiness participation at the community level.

The governor added that the initiative would position Kaduna State as a leading hub for modern poultry production and agribusiness in Africa.

He thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for selecting Kaduna to lead the initiative, describing it as a strategic decision that aligns with the federal government’s livestock development agenda.

Governor Sani recalled that in December 2025, he visited China at the invitation of the government, where he toured CP Foods Layers and Eggs (Beijing) Ltd, a facility producing nearly three million eggs daily.

He said the visit provided first-hand insight into large-scale, technology-driven poultry production, noting that the experience reinforced the viability of deploying similar models in Kaduna.
