JIGAWA SETS SIGHTS ON GLOBAL MARKETS AS INVESTJIGAWA DRIVES EXPORT AGENDA

Jigawa State today took another bold step towards building a globally competitive economy as the Jigawa State Investment Promotion Agency (InvestJigawa) hosted a Stakeholder Sensitization Programme on the Jigawa Export Strategy in Dutse.

The event brought together government agencies, private sector leaders, exporters, business associations, development partners, financial institutions, and key actors across the export ecosystem to chart a common pathway towards increasing the State’s participation in international trade.

The sensitization programme highlighted the enormous opportunities available in Jigawa’s agricultural, agro-processing, livestock, and mineral sectors, while emphasizing the need for stronger collaboration, improved product standards, value addition, and market access to unlock the State’s export potential.

Speaking at the event, stakeholders reaffirmed their commitment to supporting the implementation of the Jigawa Export Strategy, a roadmap designed to boost non-oil exports, attract investment, create jobs, increase foreign exchange earnings, and accelerate economic transformation across the State.

The initiative forms part of InvestJigawa’s ongoing efforts to position Jigawa as a preferred destination for investment and trade, while empowering local businesses to compete successfully in regional and global markets.

As the State continues to strengthen its business environment and promote export-led growth, the message from today’s engagement was clear: Jigawa is open for business, ready for trade, and prepared to compete on the global stage.
