Governor Abdullahi Sule Initiates Key Executive Orders and Regulations for Investment and Governance Enhancement
Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has taken decisive steps to invigorate investment prospects and governance with the signing of two Executive Orders and a Regulation aimed at strengthening the Nasarawa State Investment and Development Agency (NASIDA) and fostering Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) across the state’s 13 local government areas. These orders were signed during an emergency Executive Council meeting in the state capital, Lafia.
The Executive Orders primarily focus on implementing the Framework for Responsible Investment in Land Intensive Agriculture (FRILIA) and launching the Nasarawa Governance Result and Efficiency Mechanism (NGREM). FRILIA aims to ensure large-scale agribusiness investments align with international best practices in land procurement, resettlement, and sustainability, benefiting both investors and local communities. Meanwhile, NGREM seeks to enhance governance efficiency, transparency, and public service delivery by requiring all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to publish Service Level Agreements and Grievance Redress Mechanisms.
Nasarawa State anticipates enhanced investment opportunities by creating a conducive climate for investors through strategies like tax incentives and infrastructure development. These measures are poised to drive economic growth and generate employment within the state.
