Nasarawa State is drawing significant interest from major Indian companies and investors as Governor Abdullahi Sule embarks on a three-day working visit to India.
Upon arriving in Mumbai, Governor Sule engaged with representatives of Rites Limited, a global leader in infrastructure development, transport, and manufacturing, as well as a consortium of investors. Key discussions focused on the planned Keffi-Abuja Rail System, a project with substantial potential that the administration is keen to advance.
Governor Sule's visit, prompted by an invitation from a company specializing in tractors and agricultural production, aims to enhance agricultural mechanization in Nasarawa and support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's food security initiatives.
The governor will explore acquiring more tractors for farmers, developing silos to reduce post-harvest losses, and improving harvesting capabilities.
"We are eager to quickly mechanize and deploy technology in our agricultural practices.
We want to boost food production and complement President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's initiatives," Governor Sule emphasized.
In a separate meeting with investors, diplomats, and the business community, Governor Sule outlined his vision for Nasarawa, highlighting the state's opportunities and favorable business environment.
The discussions covered sectors such as pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, textiles, education, infrastructure, health, and agriculture.
Accompanying Governor Sule on this investment mission are the Honourable Commissioner for Agriculture, Umar Abubakar Danakano, and ADP State Programmes Manager, Alanana Emmanuel, among others.
