Gov Sule said the summit will feature a series of meticulously curated sessions to interrogate the most pressing issues relevant to the state’s economic development, as well as a deal room where investment grade and bankable projects at different development phases in their lifecycles would be showcased for potential investments.

There will also be an Energy Business Roundtable in partnership with the NNPC and the Gas Aggregation Company of Nigeria (GACN).

The summit serves to strengthen public-private partnerships (PPPs) by bringing together senior government officials, industry leaders and investors to foster collaborations and partnerships that can drive the implementation of key projects and initiatives.

Through the knowledge-sharing sessions and presentations, the summit will disseminate best practices, innovative solutions, and technological advancements relevant to industrialization, thereby building the capacity of local stakeholders and fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
