The Federal Government says it is addressing possible bottlenecks to attract global trade and investment into Zamfara’s mining and trade sectors.
The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Jumoke Oduwole, stated this during a visit to Governor Dauda Lawal in Gusau, Zamfara, on Monday.
The minister urged both local and foreign investors to look beyond the insecurity narratives and explore the investment opportunities abounding in Zamfara.
Oduwole outlined key federal government initiatives aimed at attracting investors and expanding trade opportunities for businesses in the state.
She said her visit focused on three major issues, including attracting investment into Zamfara’s solid minerals sector, encouraging the state’s participation in the 2026 Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF), and integrating local manufacturers into the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
