The Niger State Government has handed over 500 hectares of land to Abuja Steel Mills Limited, a subsidiary of African Industries Group (AIG), for the development of a solar farm and the AIG Industrial Park, in a move aimed at accelerating industrialisation, attracting investment and creating jobs.
Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago officially handed over the land during a groundbreaking ceremony at Sabon Wuse in Tafa Local Government Area, describing the project as a major step towards transforming Niger State into a leading investment destination.
“What we are witnessing is more than a ceremony, but is a clear declaration of our unwavering commitment to transforming Niger State into a leading investment destination of choice for sustainable economic growth. It is an indication that our vision of building a new Niger is not only a promise, it is steadily becoming a reality,” Bago said.
