The summit, scheduled for October 8–9, 2025, is themed “Rebuilding a Resilient Economy: Optimising Investment & Partnerships,” reports The Nation.
It aims to draw investors, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and policymakers to explore Bauchi’s untapped potential.
“Bauchi is a haven of peace, with great respect for the rule of law. We’ve invested massively in building institutions that are stable, functional, and capable of adapting to societal trends,” he said.
Mohammed noted that over the past six years, his administration has transformed the state’s economic landscape by investing in critical infrastructure, improving rural connectivity, and ensuring access to social services in previously underserved agrarian communities.
He highlighted agriculture, livestock, mining, renewable energy, and human capital as sectors ripe for investment. “We are guided by a clear vision and a development plan aligned with national priorities and the Sustainable Development Goals,” he stated.
According to him, the summit aims to: attract new domestic and international investments; showcase investment-ready projects; promote SME growth through market access and partnerships, and foster strategic collaborations via MoUs and joint ventures.
He urged Southeast investors to consider Bauchi as a viable destination for long-term investments, promising a supportive, peaceful, and policy-friendly environment.
