Kano is northern Nigeria's commercial capital, with historic markets such as Kantin Kwari and Kurmi, manufacturing and agribusiness.
Kano campaigns reach more people in Hausa than in English.

Digital Habits and Channels in Nigeria
Nigeria is a large, young, mobile-first market where WhatsApp is the main channel for customer conversations and Instagram, X and TikTok drive discovery. Promotional SMS goes through licensed aggregators, and the Nigerian Communications Commission's Do-Not-Disturb service lets subscribers block promotional messages by texting STOP to 2442, so sends to DND numbers are filtered.
Bank transfers, USSD banking codes, cards and fintech apps such as OPay, Moniepoint and PalmPay are widely used, and pay-on-delivery is common. Christmas and the 'detty December' season, Eid, Easter and back-to-school are key periods, and the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 governs consent.
Nigeria has Africa's largest population and one of its largest economies, with oil and gas, agriculture, telecoms, banking and the Nollywood film industry. Fintech companies such as Flutterwave, Paystack and Moniepoint have made mobile and card payments common. VAT is 7.5%, and prices are in naira. Commercial SMS must follow NCC rules, and subscribers can opt out of marketing by texting STOP to 2442, the national Do-Not-Disturb short code.
