Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni has presented a certificate of occupancy and right of occupancy of a 300-hectare land to the Nigeria Export Processing Zone Agency, NEPZA, to support its activities in the state.
This is contained in a statement issued on Thursday by Buni’s spokesperson, Mamman Mohammed, which indicated that the governor, while presenting the certificates to the agency’s Executive Director of Trade and Investment, Alhaji Usman Bakori, urged NEPZA to use the land effectively and efficiently.
“You should ensure efficient and speedy use of the land to enhance development. Government deliberately allocated the land to the agency close to the cargo airport to stimulate trade and business activities in the state,” he said.
Governor Buni added that the state government will continue to support the agency and all other partners to fast-track development in the state.
“You have a great role to play in promoting the export of agricultural produce, including sesame seeds, gum Arabic, livestock and other crops that are produced in great commercial quantities in the state. We look forward to seeing your presence and performance soon in the state,” Buni said.
Alhaji Bakori commended Governor Buni for allocating the land to the agency.
“We deeply appreciate this gesture and wish to assure you that development on the land will soon commence. The certificates have equipped us to hasten development on the land,” he assured.
