Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has made a strong call to local and international investors to explore the vast economic potential of the state, as preparations for the Bauchi International Investment Summit near completion.
The governor made the call during an inspection tour of the Bauchi International Conference Center (ICC), the summit venue, which is nearing completion. The state-of-the-art facility is set to host key stakeholders from across Nigeria and beyond in October.
Governor Bala expressed satisfaction with the standard of work on the ICC, commending the contractors for their quality delivery and attention to detail.
“Bauchi is rich in resources—solid minerals, agriculture, tourism, and human capital. With the right investment climate, we’re opening our doors to the world,” he said.
He stressed that the summit would serve as a powerful platform to promote the state's natural endowments and investment-ready sectors, aiming to attract capital that will drive industrial growth and job creation.
To support investors, the governor highlighted key reforms introduced under his administration, including tax incentives, streamlined registration through a “one-stop shop”, and policies that ensure ease of doing business across various sectors.
Governor Bala noted that Bauchi is committed to sustainable development, environmentally responsible growth, and building a future that positions the state as a major player in Nigeria’s economic transformation.
Our correspondent reports that the upcoming summit will bring together investors, development partners, government agencies, and industry leaders, all focused on unlocking opportunities and building strategic partnerships for Bauchi’s future.
