Kano state governor, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau made the challenge when the Director of Policy and Advocacy of the commission, Alhaji Lawan Gana Lantewa led the management team of the commission to a courtesy call on the governor.
Governor Shekarau observed that the commission has a great role to play in harnessing the resources of the country as well as attracting foreign investors to develop the business activities of the country.
Malam Shekarau pointed out that his administration is ever ready to join hand with the commission to ensure that Kano maintains its position as a leading centre of commerce in the country.
Commenting on the conference which the commission is holding in the state, Malam Shekarau urged it to sensitise the business community on the need to attract foreign investors into the country.
He then assured the commission that his administration is persuading the federal government to improve power supply in the state for the sustenance of industries.
Earlier, the director of policy and advocacy of the commission, Alhaji Lawan Gana Lantewa had told the governor that the commission is holding its national conference in the state to discuss problems facing investors and provide panacea to collapsing industries in the country.
He said the commission would collaborate with state governments in the country to facilitate the promotion of investment in the country.
