UN, EU and Germany woo investors to Borno State

The UN, European Union and Germany are supporting Borno State’s efforts to attract private investment, create jobs and help displaced families rebuild their livelihoods. More than 50 prospective investors attended the third private-sector investment roundtable, held in Abuja. Partners urged businesses to fund viable opportunities, including through the proposed Borno State Durable Solutions Trust Fund and commercially viable projects supported by incentives such as land access and tax measures. Governor Babagana Zulum, represented by his chief of staff, pledged government support and simpler administrative procedures.
