He explained the agricultural potential of Niger State, noting that the state has the largest land mass in Nigeria and its suitability for crop production.

Hon. Bago therefore urged the investors to visit Niger State for potential investment opportunities.

Governor Bago is working day and night to industrialise Niger State and is exploring every opportunity to woo investors both locally and internationally.

A few weeks ago, the Governor was in Kano, where he met with the promoters of the Gerawa Group of Companies, the owners of the biggest oil milling plant in West Africa, the biggest rice mill in Nigeria, and one of the biggest indigenous construction companies in Nigeria.

He also invited major Nigerian business owners like Sahad Stores, Shagalinku, ShopRite, and 4U, offering them free land to establish their branches in Minna, Niger State.
