Bauchi State governor, Bala Mohammed, has said true development must go beyond GDP figures to improving lives and creating shared prosperity.
Speaking in Lagos through the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Aminu Hammayo, at the pre-event briefing of the Bauchi Economic and Investment Summit set for October 8–9, Mohammed described the forum as a turning point in positioning the state as a top investment destination.
He noted that Bauchi was opening its doors to private sector participation across livestock, agriculture, solid minerals, ICT, and renewable energy, while also preparing for a Special Oil and Gas Free Economic Zone in Kolmani.
Commissioner for Commerce, Industry and Investment, Alhaji Mohammed Gamawa, said the administration was building "bankable PPPs" to create jobs, boost exports, and attract fresh capital inflows.
Gamawa added that Bauchi's youthful population, ICT drive, and abundant mineral resources offered investors huge opportunities. "This is not just about business; it is about creating jobs, reducing poverty, and improving the quality of life of our people," he said.
