<p>Darma outlined his administration’s vision for sectoral development in Kano and beyond, emphasizing strategic reforms in commerce, industry, agriculture, and mining. According to him, the Council will focus on capacity building, expanding access to finance, and bridging gaps between operators and government agencies. “Our goal is to ensure that every sector thrives under a supportive and structured framework,” the President said, assuring members of inclusive governance and stakeholder engagement.</p>
<p>In his farewell address, outgoing President Malam Garba Imam welcomed attendees to the AGM and reflected on the Chamber’s journey since 2023. He acknowledged challenges faced during his tenure, including initial resistance to the consensus-based leadership approach, which resulted in legal disputes. “Alhamdu Lillah, those trying moments are now behind us,” Imam said, also paying tribute to the late Alhaji Aminu Dantata for his contributions to the Chamber’s resilience and legacy.</p>

<p>Imam highlighted the reforms implemented over the past two years to transform KACCIMA into a modern, globally aligned chamber. “Leadership should be measured not by position but by purpose and impact,” he noted, citing the automation of financial records, enhancement of staff welfare, and development of new revenue sources. He urged the incoming Council to uphold transparency, accountability, and sustainability in all operations to build on this foundation.</p><div class="hKfrgVjI" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>As part of his recommendations, Imam encouraged the new administration to review outdated provisions in the Memorandum and Articles of Association (MEMARTS), emphasizing the importance of continuous amendment. He also advised fostering deeper collaborations with government institutions to stimulate Kano’s economic growth. “We must actively engage stakeholders—local and international—to champion a thriving business environment,” he added, pointing to policy advocacy and procurement codification as areas needing urgent attention.</p>
