Speaking during an interactive session on Thursday ahead of the upcoming Bauchi State Economic and Investment Summit, Governor Bala Mohammed reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to creating a robust legal and institutional framework that fosters investor confidence.
“We must protect investors and their investments because we stand to benefit from their activities through employment opportunities, wealth creation, and overall economic prosperity,” he said.
Describing investors as *“more precious than ourselves”, the governor stressed that the state regards them as partners in development, essential for capital inflow, technological transfer, and innovation.
Mohammed assured both local and international stakeholders that Bauchi offers peace, reform-driven governance, and massive growth potential, particularly in agriculture, energy, and infrastructure.
He cited his administration’s investments over the past six years in road networks, land reforms, and access to resource-rich rural areas, which have significantly improved the state’s appeal for trade and industrialisation.
“We will continue to guarantee investors’ confidence and ensure that Bauchi remains a land of peace, prosperity, and opportunities,” he added.
The governor also noted that Bauchi’s development strategy aligns with the national economic agenda and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on sectors like agribusiness, livestock, extractive industries, renewable energy, and human capital development.
The Economic Summit, themed “Rebuilding a Resilient Economy: Optimising Investment and Partnership,” is set to attract global investors, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and development partners.
The just-concluded roadshows in Lagos, Enugu, Kano, and Abuja laid the groundwork for high-level engagements at the summit, where Bauchi aims to clarify its investment roadmap and formalise long-term partnerships.
The state government has also promised improved security, streamlined land administration, and investor-friendly reforms to encourage sustained economic growth.
