The Niger State Government has announced plans to host an inclusive Investment Summit in 2025 aimed at attracting investors across various sectors, including sports, renewable energy, and the environment.
This was disclosed by the Commissioner for Industry, Trade, Investment, and Private Sector Development, Aminu Suleiman Takuma, during a post-State Executive Council briefing held at the Government House in Minna. The Commissioner was represented by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Hamza Sarki Bello.
According to the Commissioner, Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago has directed that the 2025 Investment Summit be inclusive and far-reaching to stimulate economic growth and unlock investment opportunities across the state.
He noted that the Ministry is currently developing a robust implementation strategy, which will be submitted for approval to ensure a successful and impactful summit.
In addition to the summit, the Commissioner announced that the 2025 Niger State Trade Fair will officially commence on May 20, 2025.
He revealed that discussions are ongoing with relevant institutions and stakeholders to ensure strong participation from within the state and across Nigeria, adding that the Trade Fair is expected to be a major economic event that will showcase Niger State’s commercial potential.
Takuma further disclosed that the Ministry is collaborating with relevant Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to compile a Compendium of Investment Negotiations made by the Niger State Government with various investors since the beginning of the current administration.
“We are currently collating, analysing, and organising the data into a structured compendium that will serve as a reference document for stakeholders and potential investors,” he stated.
The Commissioner also noted that Governor Bago has directed the Ministry to develop a comprehensive investment policy to serve as a guide for investors, helping them make informed decisions when considering opportunities in Niger State.
