Bauchi State Investment Team Pays STRATEGIC Visit to Sterling Bank Headquarters 

As part of ongoing efforts to boost economic development and attract private sector participation, the Bauchi State Economic and Investment Team, led by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Hon. Aminu Hammayo, on Wednesday visited the Lagos headquarters of Sterling Bank Plc.

The high-level engagement forms part of the build-up to the forthcoming Bauchi State Economic and Investment Summit, scheduled for October. The visit aimed to present the state’s vast investment potential and explore strategic partnerships in key sectors such as renewable energy, healthcare, education, agriculture, and infrastructure.

In his remarks, Hon. Hammayo underscored the administration’s commitment under Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed to creating a conducive environment for investors. He noted that Bauchi, as one of Nigeria’s most resource-rich states, offers immense opportunities in agriculture, solid minerals, tourism, manufacturing, and renewable energy.

“The forthcoming summit will serve as a platform to showcase Bauchi’s competitive advantages and attract serious investors,” he said. “Sterling Bank’s track record in supporting innovative financing models aligns with our vision for inclusive and sustainable economic growth.”

Responding on behalf of the bank’s management, Sterling Bank executives commended the Bauchi State Government for its forward-thinking approach to economic diversification. The bank expressed its readiness to partner with the state, offering financial solutions and advisory services aimed at driving growth in critical sectors.

The visit is one of several strategic engagements the Bauchi Economic and Investment Team is undertaking nationwide to foster partnerships and mobilize private sector investment ahead of the October summit.
