By Vivian Emoni

The Adamawa Government has called on investors, entrepreneurs and captains of industry to invest in the state to boost profits, expand businesses and promote financial stability.

Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri made the call at the Adamawa Special Day held during the 2025 Abuja International Trade Fair on Monday in Abuja.

Fintiri said the state was safe, peaceful and conducive for business, urging investors to take advantage of the favourable investment environment to achieve their business goals.

“I stand with a deep sense of pride in what Adamawa has displayed at this year’s trade fair, a rare blend of enterprise, innovation and cultural strength.

“Our presence here is more than participation; it is a statement that Adamawa is open for business, alive with ideas and ready to lead in Nigeria’s new economic frontier.

“The vision of our government will continue to inspire industrial growth, infrastructure renewal and opportunities for our youths.

“Our efforts have created an enabling environment for trade and investment to flourish across our local governments,” he said.

The governor, represented by Mr Musa Kiri, Permanent Secretary, Ministry for Local Government Affairs, thanked the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), participants and exhibitors for making the fair a success.

In his remarks, Mr Agabaidu Jideani, Director-General of the ACCI, said the chamber was ready to work with the Adamawa Government to advance policies, mobilise investments and create an enabling business environment.

He said the partnership would deliver tangible prosperity for the state.

“We believe that the partnership between ACCI and Adamawa can unlock trade corridors, strengthen industrial capacity and build a brighter and more inclusive economy for Nigeria,” Jideani said.

He added that the fair’s theme, ‘Sustainability: Consumption, Incentives and Taxation,’ aligned strongly with Adamawa’s development priorities.

“Sustainability is at the heart of agriculture, renewable energy, solid minerals and small business growth sectors where Adamawa has undeniable comparative advantages.

“With improved trade infrastructure, mobility and investment incentives, these resources can be transformed into engines of wealth creation for the state and the nation.

“We are proud to host you here as you showcase your rich potentials to the business community in Abuja, Nigeria and beyond,” he said.
