Hon. Ibrahim Hamza has commended Governor Abdullahi Sule for initiating and sustaining the Nasarawa Investment Summit, describing the platform as a major driver of economic growth, industrial development and investor confidence in Nasarawa State.

Hon. Hamza gave the commendation during the ongoing Nasarawa Investment Summit in Lafia, where the state government presented the first electricity generation and Independent Electricity Distribution Network (IEDN) licences in Nasarawa State to Tetracore Power Company Limited.

Hon.Hamza described the development as a landmark achievement that reflects the governor’s commitment to transforming the state into an investment destination and strengthening critical infrastructure, especially in the power sector.
According to Hamza, the consistency of the investment summit over the years has helped position Nasarawa State as one of the emerging economic hubs in Nigeria, attracting investors across different sectors of the economy.
“This is a visionary step by Governor Abdullahi Sule. The Nasarawa Investment Summit has continued to create opportunities for partnerships and economic expansion, while the issuance of these electricity licences signals a new era for power development and industrialization in the state,” he said.
The licences were presented as part of efforts to establish Nasarawa’s own electricity market under the Nasarawa State Electricity Law.
On this electricity law, Hon. Hamza who is also the permanent member 1 in the Nasarawa state revenue service commended Governor Sule, saying that the move demonstrates the administration’s commitment to attracting private investment into the power sector and improving electricity supply across the state.
