He outlined investment-ready opportunities in agriculture, energy, tourism, solid minerals, infrastructure, and industrial processing zones. The Governor’s pitch generated tremendous interest, with several CEOs and financiers expressing their commitment to participate in the upcoming Bauchi State International Investment Summit scheduled for July 2025.

His Excellency, Governor Bala also signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Tunisia Africa Business Council to deepen cooperation in investment promotion, technology transfer, and sustainable economic collaboration.

This unit will coordinate MoUs, track investment leads, and support preparations for the July Investment Summit. A public report summarizing Bauchi’s participation and lessons from FITA2025 will be released to ensure transparency and broad stakeholder engagement.

The Government of Bauchi State extends appreciation to the Tunisian Ambassador to Nigeria for his support in facilitating this impactful participation. FITA2025 has set a high standard for global engagement, and Bauchi is proud to have risen to the occasion.

The future of Bauchi is bright, and the world is taking notice.
