The Federal Government has reiterated its commitment to driving investment and industrial growth through stronger collaboration with state governments and private sector stakeholders.
The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, stated this after participating in the 2026 Nasarawa Investment Summit alongside Vice President Kashim Shettima, Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule, and key industry players.
According to the minister, Nigeria’s economic transformation is increasingly being driven at the sub-national level through targeted reforms, strategic partnerships, and policies designed to boost competitiveness under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
Oduwole said the Federal Government was focused on ensuring that the Renewed Hope Agenda translates into concrete economic benefits for Nigerians, including increased investments, industrial expansion, and sustainable job creation.
She noted that strengthened state-level reforms and closer cooperation between federal and state authorities were critical to unlocking the country’s economic potential and attracting both local and foreign investors.
The summit brought together government officials, business leaders, and investors to explore opportunities in key sectors of the Nasarawa economy and discuss strategies for expanding investment across Nigeria.
