The Zamfara government has urged local and foreign investors to explore the abundant economic opportunities available in the state.

The state commissioner for commerce and industries, Abdul Rahman Tubidu, made the call on Saturday in Gusau after participating in the just-concluded Kano International Trade Fair.

Mr Tubidu, in a statement signed by the public relations officer (PRO) of the ministry, Jamilu Bello, said the state had vast economic potential to showcase, as shown at the trade fair.

“We have key sectors of comparative advantage and investment viability which include: solid minerals, agriculture, livestock development, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), tourism, among others.

” Zamfara has been uniquely positioned as an investment-friendly state with abundant natural resources and a growing market for agro-allied and mineral-based industries.

“The administration of Governor Dauda Lawal is building a safe, stable and business supportive environment,” Mr Tabidu said.

The commissioner added that the present administration had created a conducive atmosphere for investors to operate with confidence and sustainability.

“This is through enhanced security measures, infrastructure development and clear policy reforms.

“We commend the organisers of the Kano International Trade Fair for providing a platform that strengthens inter-state economic collaboration, fosters innovation, and connects investors with new opportunities.

“Zamfara’s participation at the trade fair reflects the government’s dedication to promoting the state’s products, empowering entrepreneurs, and attracting private sector partnerships.

“We assure prospective investors of the ministry’s readiness to provide necessary guidance and support towards establishing their businesses in the state,” Mr Tabidu said.
