Kebbi State Launches New Investment Reforms and Orders

Kebbi State has rolled out new investment reforms and executive orders to strengthen its investment climate, as disclosed by Dr. Muhammad Kamba, Director General of the Kebbi State Investment Promotion Agency, during a press briefing on Tuesday.

The reforms aim to attract both local and foreign investors and are part of a broader strategy to drive economic growth and create a transparent, investor-friendly business environment. Governor Nasir Idris's administration has made significant progress in establishing a clear roadmap for building a competitive investment-ready economy.

Key initiatives include the implementation of executive orders, such as Order No. 04 of 2023, which provides a framework for land-intensive agricultural investment, and Order No. 05 of 2023, which promotes transparency and efficiency in administrative procedures across government institutions. The reforms align with national business reform efforts and involve collaboration with various agencies, including the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission and the Bank of Industry, to enhance the state's capacity to attract and retain investments.
