Governor Namadi described the visit as a significant outcome of the state government’s recent investment mission to China, noting  that the return visit by the Chinese investors mirrored increasing confidence in Jigawa State’s economic direction and its long-term development potential.


Governor Namadi therefore assured them that the state government remains committed to opening up Jigawa’s economy through infrastructure expansion, industrialization, and strategic investment partnerships capable of creating jobs and encouraging local enterprise.


He said the industrial visits undertaken in China exposed the Jigawa delegation to modern production systems and investment models that could support the state’s aspiration to transform the Maigatari Free Trade Zone into a viable regional economic hub.


The Border Communities Development Agency noted that the engagement with the Chinese investors was part of broader efforts aimed at attracting private investment into border communities
