Consistent with its thought leadership stance and commitment to drive sustainable national economic development, Nigeria’s premier bank and most valuable banking brand, First Bank of Nigeria Limited, has partnered the Katsina State Government in hosting the Katsina Economic Investment Summit.
The Summit is with the theme: “Unlocking Investment Potentials for Sustainable Development.”
This summit, scheduled to hold from May 9 to 11, 2016, will showcase the rich opportunities that abound in the state to both indigenous and international investors.
The Summit, which will focus on five priority areas, namely: Agriculture, Solid Minerals, Power (Solar Energy), Property Development and Hospitality, is aimed at revitalizing the private sector to enhance the much needed job creation that will employ the teaming youth.
It is also organised to drive consciousness and build a consensus on what is urgently required to rebuild, revamp and reinforce public-private collaboration for an all-inclusive economic growth.
“FirstBank supports initiatives that create opportunities for the advancement of inclusive and sustainable growth,” said Dr. Adesola Adeduntan, the MD/CEO of First Bank of Nigeria Limited and Subsidiaries.
“We will continue to drive the discourse on how best to achieve competitiveness and inclusive growth through measurable outcomes which are crucial in defining the agenda that will help make Nigeria’s socio-economic environment a globally competitive one,” Adeduntan added.
President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to flag off the three-day Katsina State Economic and Investment Summit.
The event will have technical and breakout sessions to be chaired by notable personnel like the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele; a National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; and the President of ECOWAS Investment Bank among others.
The Executive Director in charge of the Public Sector, Dauda Lawal, is also expected to lead the FirstBank delegation at the event.
