InvestJigawa Shines at Nigeria-Morocco Business Week in Casablanca

Investjigawa proudly took center stage at the Nigeria-Morocco Business Week, held from October 28th to November 1st, 2024, in Casablanca. This landmark event showcased Jigawa’s vast potential in agriculture, industrial development, and renewable energy, reinforcing its position as a hub for economic growth and innovation. Our delegation engaged with key Moroccan partners, including Console Construction Solutions Industrielles, a leader in steel and industrial solutions. Discussions explored the establishment of a steel factory in Jigawa State, which promises to create thousands of jobs, foster industrial growth, and enhance technology transfer to benefit our local workforce. Similarly, engagements with Lesieur Crystal Avril and other Moroccan agricultural companies opened doors for Jigawa to expand its agricultural exports, including sesame, hibiscus, and soybeans, to Moroccan markets.  In the renewable energy sector, collaborations with the Moroccan Agency for Energy Efficiency (AMEE) focused on sustainable solutions like solar-powered irrigation and energy-efficient building designs. These initiatives align with Jigawa’s commitment to addressing energy needs while promoting environmental sustainability. The outcomes from this event highlight Jigawa’s trajectory toward economic transformation through strategic partnerships and targeted investments. From creating jobs to enhancing skills through technology transfer, Jigawa is shaping its future as a beacon of development in Nigeria.
