His Excellency Abdullahi A. Sule, Governor of Nasarawa State, has unveiled a compelling investment pitch to international investors, showcasing the state’s vast hydrocarbon reserves and expanding agricultural opportunities. The presentation was made during a high-level business meeting with a delegation from a South African investment bank.

Governor Sule emphasized that Nasarawa’s untapped hydrocarbon deposits present significant prospects for exploration and energy-sector partnerships. He also highlighted the state’s thriving agricultural sector, noting that public-private collaborations could unlock large-scale production, processing, and export potential.

The meeting drew participation from other key Nigerian leaders, including the Governors of Gombe, Zamfara, and Plateau States, as well as the Managing Director of the Nigeria Investment Promotion Council (NIPC), underscoring the strategic importance of the dialogue.

As part of the investment drive, the Nigerian delegation toured a metal processing plant in Johannesburg to explore potential areas of industrial cooperation and technology transfer.

Governor Sule and the delegation arrived in South Africa on Wednesday and were formally received by Nigeria’s Consul General to South Africa, Ambassador Bashir Umar, and the Defense Attaché, Ibrahim Gwaska.

The visit forms part of a broader effort to deepen Nigeria–South Africa economic ties and attract foreign investment into key sectors of the Nigerian economy.
