DG YAPPPIP Participates in Hajj & Umrah Nigeria Expo 2.0, Kano
Earlier this month, the Director General of the Yobe State Agency for Public-Private Partnership and Investment Promotion (YAPPPIP), Dr. Aliyu Isah Chikaji, participated in the Hajj & Umrah Nigeria Expo 2.0 held in Kano, a platform dedicated to advancing conversations around the Hajj and Umrah ecosystem and the wider opportunities connected to it.
The Director General also served as the moderator of a panel discussion themed “Building Strategic Partnerships and Strengthening Nigeria–Saudi Economic Relations.” The session brought together representatives from the private sector, sub-national government, and trade policy space to explore how Nigeria and Saudi Arabia can move beyond goodwill and build lasting economic partnerships in trade, investment, agriculture, and logistics.
Beyond the panel, the Expo offered a valuable platform for the Director General to engage with ideas and perspectives around cross-border partnerships and economic cooperation, further broadening the networks through which opportunities can be identified and pursued.
YAPPPIP’s participation reflects the Agency’s commitment to being present where meaningful partnerships are built and new economic possibilities emerge. It also reinforces the Agency’s broader role in connecting Yobe State to strategic networks and opportunities that can translate into investment, partnerships, and sustainable economic growth.
