Bauchi Summit – Oct. 09, 2025
Vice President Kashim Shettima has called on both local and international investors to explore the vast economic opportunities available in Bauchi State.
Shettima made the call yesterday while representing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the opening of the Bauchi State Economic and Investment Summit.
The Vice President said the Federal Government remained committed to creating a stable, predictable, and profitable business environment across the country. He assured investors of continuous policy reforms aimed at stimulating sustainable economic growth and improving the ease of doing business.
Shettima commended Governor Bala Mohammed for organising what he described as a visionary and forward-looking summit that aligns with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda for inclusive and diversified economic development.
In his remarks, Governor Mohammed reaffirmed his administration’s determination to attract investments through policies anchored on transparency, accountability, and innovation. He said the state government was already partnering with Chinese firms in agriculture, manufacturing, and infrastructure as part of ongoing efforts to industrialise Bauchi.
According to him, Bauchi’s investment agenda leverages the state’s abundant natural resources, vibrant youth population, and growing infrastructure base to position it as a leading economic hub in Northern Nigeria.
Representatives of both local and foreign investors, including the Director-General of the Kano Chamber of Commerce and the Tunisian Ambassador to Nigeria, lauded the Bauchi State Government for creating an enabling environment for business.
