Atiku Bagudu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi has commended efforts of President Muhammadu Buhari to attract more foreign investments into the country.<\/p>\n

Speaking with newsmen in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, Bugudu said rather than ciritise the president, he should be commended for his untiring efforts to boost the nation\u2019s economy through massive influx of foreign capital.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt is an excellent outing for Mr President, President Muhammadu Buhari and we are honored to be part of his entourage to the conference which is tagged; Future Investment Initiative (FII) organized by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, which is their Sovereign Wealth Fund equivalent to Nigeria\u2019s Sovereign Fund, only that whereas ours is under three billion dollars theirs is in excess of 400 billion dollars.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr President was invited by King Salman bin Abdulaziz, Custodian of the two whole Mosques, and that shows the respect with which Mr President is treated around the world and the honours he brings to Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr President in addition to participating in the summit, was also hosted by King Salman ibn Abdulaziz and he was visited by the Crown Prince, Muhammed ibn Salman, who showed unprecedented respect for Mr President, because rather than Mr President visiting him he decided to visit Mr President and agreed to invest in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, this is a very, very successful outing for Nigeria and it is consistent with our call for Mr President to be more active in economic diplomacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is noteworthy that Mr President has visited Russia, Japan, all in a bid to secure investments for Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the kind of activism \u2013 Mr President is not travelling to enjoy himself or on holiday but to bring investments for Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe (Buhari) just took a day off to come to Makkah and perform the Umrah and we are quite honoured that we participated with him in the Umrah.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was very, very energetic, very healthy as he displayed during the movement between the Safa and Marwah.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAny benefit to Nigeria is a benefit to Kebbi State government; two, the promise of more investments by Saudi Arabia, the promise of more support to our security issues will also have direct benefit to Kebbi state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fields of cooperation will include many things that Kebbi state has ability to compete in, like mining, agriculture and even futuristic investments like Information Technology where our abled youths will be able to participate and compete,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
