The Kano State Government has announced plans to revamp the historic 525-year-old Kofar Mata dyeing pit, located in Kano State.
The Neptune prime reports that the Commissioner of Commerce, Shehu Wada Sagagi, in an exclusive interview with TVC News , announced the state government’s plan on Thursday.
Sagagi described the Kofar Mata dye pit as a vital cultural and economic asset, noting that the government intends to modernize and restore the 500-year-old site.
“We are very much aware of the problems at the Kofar Mata dye pit. I want to assure you that we will collaborate with Chinese partners to modernize the site,” Sagagi stated.

The historic Kofar Mata dye pit is one of the notable monuments in Kano State. It has long served as a key destination for both national and international guests and tourists visiting the state for official or personal engagements.
The Managing Director of the Kano State Tourism Board, Tukur Sagagi, also reaffirmed the government’s commitment to transforming the dye pit and promoting the state’s cultural heritage.
Neptune prime notes that the majority of the dye pits have now deteriorated into dumpsites, primarily filled with plastic waste and stagnant water—a situation that poses environmental hazards and risks of disease outbreaks.
