The Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has described Kogi State as the new frontier for investment in Africa. This he said through his Special Adviser on Finance, Economy and Investment, Asiru Idris Asiwaju, at the China-Nigeria Production Capacity and Investment Guangzhou Governmental and Commercial high end round-table, which held on Monday, April 18, 2016, in Guangzhou, China.
According to Mr Idris, the Chinese have shown how a large population can be an asset to a developing society, highlighting how the Chinese economy has grown to be the largest in the world, breaking the US dominance of 140 years. He added that Kogi is willing and ready to partner with the Chinese government, through its leading and reliable corporations and institutions, to effectively utilise human resources to harness the enormous natural resources that abound for the development of the state.
Building on this background, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Multilateral Relations, Donor Agencies and Special Projects, Mr. Adoga Ibrahim, said that Kogi has a geographical advantage over all other states in Nigeria as the only state which shares boundaries with 10 other states, including the Federal Capital Territory. This, he said, is very strategic for investment purposes.
