Kaduna State has attracted investments totaling over $650 million in less than a year, Governor Uba Sani has revealed.
Speaking at the Nurturing Nigeria’s Future Initiative event in London, the Governor disclosed that the investments were secured across various sectors, including agriculture, mineral resources, tourism, and infrastructure development.
A communiqué issued to journalists in Abuja on Thursday quoted Governor Sani as making the announcement.
“This $650 million investment is a clear indication of the confidence investors have in our state’s economic potential.
“We are committed to creating an enabling environment for businesses to thrive, and this investment is a step in the right direction,” he told potential investors from Nigeria and the UK.
The event, organized by the Nigerian Professionals Network (NPN), aimed to explore investment opportunities in Nigeria.
Over 250 high-net-worth individuals, including Nigerians in the diaspora and foreign investors, attended the event.
Also speaking, Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang, represented by Wilson Manji, showcased investment opportunities in his state, emphasizing agriculture, mineral resources, tourism, and infrastructure development.
