Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has urged President Bola Tinubu to develop Bauchi State and Northern Nigeria.

Zulum made the call at the Bauchi State economic and investment summit on Wednesday.

At the event, Tinubu was represented by the Vice President, Kashim Shettima.

Zulum said: “I want to welcome His Excellency, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, ably represented by the Vice President, the Ambassadors in particular, and all those investors that are here to take this opportunity, to use this opportunity of this summit, and to develop Bauchi State, not only Bauchi State, but Nigeria in general.”

He also commended former President Olusegun Obasanjo for his initiatives in the area of agriculture.

“I want to use this opportunity to commend, sorry, our own, the former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Olusegun Obasanjo, for the great initiatives that he has been doing, or I can say he has done, during his tenure as a military administrator of Nigeria on agriculture.

“I can understand, I will recall with nostalgia, when I was in primary school, some of the programs that he has initiated, the real revolution among others.

“Again, the Ota Farm that he has invested hugely, has also brought enormous potentials to Nigeria,” he added.
