In continuation of its working visit to the North West, NIPC was in Jigawa State, where the Executive Secretary/CEO and her team visited His Excellency Umar Namadi, the Executive Governor of Jigawa State. Jigawa boasts one of the largest granite deposits in Nigeria and is a key player in agriculture, with immense growth potential due to its vast arable land. The Governor pledged support to collaborate with NIPC on the Nigerian Investment Certification Programme for States (NICPS) to further boost investment in these sectors.
The team also visited InvestJigawa, the State's Investment Promotion Agency, and toured GCC Vanguard, a leading mining and construction company specialising in the extraction, processing, and distribution of high-quality granite.
Further stops included Lee Group of Companies, where the delegation explored impressive sugar production initiatives, and Vinylon Footwear Industries Limited, a key player in the plastics and footwear industry, highlighting the breadth of investment opportunities across Jigawa State's growing industrial base.
