The Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, has assured investors that the state is one of the safest states in the Northeast and the entire country; hence, they should feel free to come over for business activities.
He said it is on record that movements of people and services are taking place without hindrances or fear of molestation, attacks or even verbal confrontations in the state.
Mohammed said this when he declared the opening of the Bauchi State Economic and Investment Summit Roadshow, which has the theme “Rebuilding a resilient economy, optimising investment and partnership,” in Abuja on Tuesday.
Represented by the Deputy Governor, Mohammed Auwal Jatau, the governor said that, in line with the perspective of the state’s 2024- 2033 plan, the summit aligned with the overall national development agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals.
He said local and foreign investors have been signing Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with the state government, a foundation on which the people can comfortably ride without having an atom of doubt about business, tribe, or the security of their investments.
The governor said the state government has already opened doors to broadly accessible rural and agrarian areas and markets, and provides access to communities based on its clear vision for the state.
Bauchi State is one of the secure states not only in the northeast but also in Nigeria. The records show that people can move every inch of Bauchi State by road without being hindered and without fear of molestation, attacks, or even harsh words from anybody.
“We have a lot of investors coming to sign MOUs with us. There are lots of international business companies coming to partner with us. We have signed a lot of things.
“For six years, we have assembled an agricultural and economic structure to liberate the state and put it on the growth path. We have opened doors for the broadly accessible rural and agrarian areas and markets, providing access to the communities based on a clear vision for the state.
“In line with the perspective of the state’s 2024- 2033 plan, the summit aligns with the overall national development agenda and sustainable development goals.
“It has become imperative to leverage the abundant potential we have in agriculture, livestock, mineral resources, oil and gas, and a large human capital base,” he added.
