The Adamawa State Government has unveiled an ambitious investment drive, calling on local and foreign entrepreneurs to take advantage of its fast-growing economy and emerging business opportunities.
Speaking at the Adamawa Special Day during the 2025 Abuja International Trade Fair, Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri described the state as “a frontier of peace, innovation, and enterprise ready for bold investors.”
Represented by Musa Kiri, Permanent Secretary at the Ministry for Local Government Affairs, the governor said Adamawa now offers one of the most enabling business environments in Northern Nigeria, backed by improved infrastructure, industrial policies, and a growing youthful workforce.
“Our participation in this year’s fair is not just symbolic; it’s a declaration that Adamawa is open for business. We have built the structures — from roads and power to peace and governance — that allow trade and enterprise to thrive,” he stated.
He added that the state’s renewed focus on industrial growth, infrastructure renewal, and youth empowerment is creating a new era of economic opportunity for investors seeking both profit and stability.
Fintiri commended the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) for providing a platform that connects states to global markets and strengthens public-private collaboration.
Public-Private Collaboration for Growth
In his remarks, Agabaidu Jideani, Director-General of the ACCI, pledged the chamber’s support in advancing investment-friendly policies and building strategic partnerships that would unlock new trade corridors for Adamawa.
“A partnership between the ACCI and Adamawa State can transform the region into a thriving trade hub,” Jideani said. “Together, we can strengthen industrial capacity and build a more inclusive, sustainable economy for Nigeria.”
He noted that the fair’s theme — “Sustainability: Consumption, Incentives, and Taxation” — aligns closely with Adamawa’s growth priorities across agriculture, renewable energy, solid minerals, and small business development.
“These sectors are where Adamawa holds a clear comparative advantage. With the right investments, they can become engines of wealth creation for both the state and the nation,” he added.
A State Ready for the Future
Over the past few years, Adamawa has made strategic strides in security, infrastructure, and governance, positioning itself as one of Nigeria’s most promising destinations for investment. From renewable energy and agro-processing to tourism and digital innovation, the state is steadily attracting attention from investors seeking long-term value.
Governor Fintiri reaffirmed that Adamawa’s new economic vision centers on inclusive growth, entrepreneurship, and regional competitiveness, noting that his administration is committed to supporting businesses through transparency, incentives, and infrastructure expansion.
As the 2025 Trade Fair draws global attention to emerging markets, Adamawa’s message is clear:
the state is ready to do business — sustainably, securely, and strategically.
