On Thursday, the 27th of August 2026, we successfully held the inaugural meeting of the Board of Directors of the Funtua Inland Dry Port Limited to institutionalize its operations and jointly approve the commencement of its plans to expand operations. Further to the announcement last year of the State Government’s 20% equity participation in the project, the Funtua Inland Dry Port Limited was incorporated as the project’s SPV, the shareholders' agreement was duly executed, and the State's share certificate was issued and announced at last year’s Katsina State Economic and Investment Summit. In line with the State Government’s ambition to create a globally competitive subnational economy that is government-enabled and private sector-led, this project remains very critical to its objectives of strengthening regional trade in the Sahel, cutting transport costs, expediting customs checks, clearing seaport traffic, and bringing shipping work directly to Katsina State. The project will undoubtedly create jobs, increase incomes, and improve the livelihoods of the teeming youths in the state. #InvestKatsina 🚀 – at Katsina, Nigeria

Thank you, Bauchi State! 🤍 This weekend, I was once again invited to Bauchi to speak to the next generation of leaders in the state, this time around as a Keynote Speaker at the inaugural Fast Forward Conference organized by my brilliant brother, friend, and boss @elbeehalan and Ishaya Levi. I spoke on the topic “The Future of Leadership, Innovation, and Economic Growth in Nigeria: Building the Next Generation of Transformational Leaders in Bauchi State,” where I shared my journey so far in public service and emphasized the need to understand that spectators will not build Nigeria’s future; it will be built by honest leaders, innovators, builders, and problem-solvers. Our greatest asset, without a doubt, remains our youthful population. History continues to teach us that every generation has a defining responsibility. Ours is not merely to inherit Nigeria—but to leave an improved version of it for our children to build on. I also touched on the issue of our generation having unprecedented, instant access to information, which has unfortunately led to various systemic challenges such as information overload, echo chambers, and the illusion of knowledge. Thus, like the famous Ruben Blades quote, “we risk being the most informed society that has ever died of ignorance.” I finally urged all participants to commit to raising a generation of transformational leaders whose legacy will be measured not by promises made but by lives changed, institutions strengthened, communities transformed, and opportunities created for generations to come.

CONSTRUCTION OF TORQ AGRO’S $10 MILLION INTEGRATED POULTRY FARM & HATCHERY FACILITY IN BATAGARAWA, KATSINA COMMENCES Yesterday, I was on site to witness the commencement of the construction of TORQ Agro's $10 million large-scale integrated poultry farm and hatchery in Batagarawa, Katsina State. The 10-hectare project will have a total production flock of 360,810 commercial Layers and 132,600 brooding chicks.
