The governor’s Senior Special Assistant on Media Affairs, Zainab Ringim, said in a statement on Tuesday that the governor is also having discussions with Saudi Arabia based investors.
Ringim revealed that the governor who led a high-powered delegation to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is seeking to establish robust social and business partnerships with prominent financial institutions to enhance agricultural productivity to drive economic growth in the state.
The statement said, “Education remains a focal point of the mission, with discussions underway with the World Assembly of Muslim Youths to finalise plans for various educational projects.
“These projects include the establishment of an Islamic iniversity and 11 Islamic centres across Jigawa State to expand access to quality education.
She disclosed that Namadi”s delegation is also exploring collaboration opportunities to conduct health and medical outreach programmes on corrective eye surgery initiatives in the state.
Ringim explained that this collaborative effort is geared to address crucial healthcare needs to enhance citizens’ well-being.
Last week, the Jigawa State government said it would introduce a policy to guide youth development in the state.
The Commissioner for Information, Youths, Sports and Culture, Mr. Sagir Musa, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Dutse, the state capital.
He said that the policy would serve as a framework that would guide the operations of the ministry while leveraging the efforts of the state Governor, Umar Namadi’s administration for youth development.
