Sabou Capital has reaffirmed its commitment to driving innovation-led growth in agriculture and renewable energy, with Co-Founder [Name] highlighting technology as the critical multiplier for Northern Nigeria's development.
Speaking at the Northern Nigeria Investment and Industrial Summit (NNIIS25), [Name] joined policymakers, investors, and private sector leaders in exploring opportunities across mining, agriculture, and power.
He noted that while the region holds vast resources — including arable land, abundant minerals, and the highest solar radiation in West Africa — resources alone cannot create prosperity. Instead, he stressed that innovation, digital infrastructure, and human capital development must underpin growth strategies.

Drawing parallels with India's economic transformation, he pointed to how digital infrastructure, STEM education, and financial inclusion turned a fragmented rural economy into a global technology hub. He said Northern Nigeria can follow a similar path if strategic investments are made in education, digital literacy, and workforce development.
"With agriculture and renewable energy being core to Sabou Capital's strategy, the scale of opportunity in Northern Nigeria is undeniable," he said. "But it is technology and innovation that will unlock productivity, jobs, and inclusive growth."
He commended the summit organisers, led by Khalil Nura Khalil and the Northern Elders Forum, for creating what he described as a "catalytic platform" to shape new opportunities for the region.
