IATF 2025: ZAMFARA IS OPEN FOR INVESTMENT, GOV. LAWAL TELLS GLOBAL INVESTORS

Governor Dauda Lawal has assured global investors that Zamfara State is open for investments.

The governor and other panelists participated in the fifth African Sub-Sovereign Governments Network (AfSNET) conference held last Saturday in Algiers, Algeria.

A statement by the spokesperson for the Zamfara Governor, Sulaiman Bala Idris, said that the panel includes the governors of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, and Kenneth Makelo Lusaka, of Bungoma County, Kenya, among others.

The high-level panel discussed investment opportunities in Nigeria’s Ogun and Zamfara states and Kenya’s Bungoma County.

In his address to global investors, Governor Lawal emphasized that his administration is committed to transforming Zamfara’s narrative from one of challenges to one of significant opportunities and resilience.

“My administration is dedicated to creating a secure, profitable, and sustainable environment for investment. I am here today as a partner, ready to collaborate with you to unlock our shared prosperity.

“To address the concerns raised, we seek partnerships in key areas to effectively implement our investment initiatives.

“We need financiers, such as Afreximbank, to provide and facilitate tools like credit guarantees, political risk insurance, and currency swap facilities. These instruments are essential for mitigating perceived risks while attracting capital for large-scale infrastructure and mining projects.

“We welcome institutional support for capacity building within our state agencies, particularly in modernizing our land registry, training our investment promotion team on global best practices, preparing projects, and implementing digital systems for transparent and efficient permit processing.”

Governor Lawal further said that beyond Zamfara’s gold deposits, the state is rich in vast, untapped resources, including copper, lithium, tantalite, and granite.

MAULUD: GOV. DAUDA LAWAL FELICITATES MUSLIMS, CALLS FOR PRAYERS FOR PEACE

Governor Dauda Lawal has urged increased prayers for the restoration of peace in Zamfara State and across Nigeria.

This appeal was made on Friday in celebration of the birthday of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

In a statement issued in Gusau, the governor’s spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, disclosed that Muslims commemorate Maulud Nabi every year on the 12th of Rabiul Awal, the third month of the Hijri calendar.

“Governor Dauda Lawal, on behalf of the people of Zamfara State, wishes to congratulate the Muslim ummah on the birthday of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

“Every 12th of Rabi’ul Auwal serves as a day to celebrate the birth of our blessed Prophet (PBUH).

“This is a good time for all Muslims to learn from and emulate the life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).

“Islam is more than a religion, it is a way of life. The life of the Prophet (PBUH) guides us toward good values, character, and actions.

“We should use such significant religious occasions to remain steadfast in our prayers for peace in Zamfara State, the Northwest, and the entire country.

“May the Almighty Allah (T) bring an end to banditry and all forms of criminality in our beloved nation.”
