The governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has said the state is open for business, calling on the foreign governments and private companies to take advantage of the peaceful and business-friendly environment in the state to invest for mutual benefits.
AbdulRazaq, said this at the state gala dinner organised by the state government in honour of the French Ambassador to Nigeria, Jarome Pasquire and in commemoration of the second anniversary of the AbdulRazaq administration.
He stressed that the state is peaceful, our climate is serene, business-friendly, and our people are accommodating, skilled, and honest.
AbdulRazaq said, “As a subnational government, we are taking steps to attract investments. We have been deliberate in committing huge resources to infrastructural and human capital development, agribusiness, small scale businesses, and safety net for the poor.”
He also called on the French government and other countries to work more closely with Nigeria, especially in the area of security and sustainable economic growth.
“A key feature of our world today is the interdependence of nations. Whether in the area of economy, security, climate change, and general issues of sustainable development, it is clear that nation states must work together to achieve success. On that note, I join Mr. president to call on the French government and other countries to work more closely with Nigeria, especially in the area of security and sustainable economic growth.
“On behalf of the government and people of our state, I thank Your Excellency for your willingness to partner with Kwara State in many areas, especially in agriculture and tourism. The inspiring cultural display you have seen tonight is a window to the rich cultural heritage of Kwara State.”
