Idris Unveils Kebbi’s Inaugural Economic Summit

Kebbi State Governor, Dr. Nasir Idris, inaugurated the state’s first-ever Economic Development Summit in Birnin Kebbi, describing it as a strategic move to unlock the state’s economic potential and promote sustainable growth.

He emphasized collective responsibility in developing the state, noting that “the government alone cannot transform the state.” Idris warned against politicising security issues, saying negative portrayals discourage investors.

Highlighting achievements, he stated that Kebbi has solidified its role as Nigeria’s agricultural hub and made progress in education and healthcare, including school renovations. His administration has also procured over 100 vehicles for security agencies, employed 5,000 young graduates, and maintained timely payments of salaries, pensions, and benefits.

He pledged continued collaboration with stakeholders like the Kebbi Elders Consultative Forum to build a prosperous state.
