Kogi State is experiencing a remarkable surge in high-value investments, thanks to the forward-thinking policies of Governor Usman Ododo. According to Kingsley Femi Fanwo, the State Commissioner for Information and Communications, these investor-friendly initiatives are making Kogi an attractive hub for both local and international investors.

In a recent statement, Fanwo highlighted that the state is experiencing a steady influx of investments across key sectors, including agriculture, solid minerals, hospitality, and others. He emphasised that this positive trend is a direct result of the government’s deliberate reforms aimed at creating a conducive environment for business growth.

Key among these reforms are improvements in land and tax administration, as well as enhanced security measures and infrastructure development. These efforts have collectively created an environment where private capital can flourish. Fanwo remarked, “Kogi is rapidly becoming one of Nigeria’s top destinations for high-value investments.”

The administration’s proactive approach includes removing bureaucratic hurdles and implementing policies that make it easier for investors to do business. The land administration system has been modernised to be more transparent and technology-driven, allowing investors to acquire land quickly and efficiently. Similarly, the revised tax policies are designed to support enterprise expansion, particularly in productive sectors.

This wave of investments aligns perfectly with Governor Ododo’s vision of industrialising Kogi, generating employment, and building a resilient, diversified economy. Fanwo affirmed, “Our focus is on attracting investments that create sustainable jobs, boost local economies, and increase our Internally Generated Revenue. Kogi is open for business, and we are already beginning to see the results.”

The government remains committed to maintaining a secure and stable environment for business operations and continues to invite more investors to explore the vast opportunities within the state. With these transformative policies, Kogi is swiftly becoming Nigeria’s emerging investment destination.
