Investors and economic experts have converged on Kaduna State capital in the evening of Thursday to set agenda for mutually beneficial Foreign Direct Investment relationship with the Governor Uba Sani administration.
The Governor, who played host to the first-of-its-kind investment summit, has expressed hope that the event would serve as the springboard for boosting the fortunes of the State.
The Investment Summit , according to Governor Uba Sani, was organized by the U.S. Embassy and American Business Council.
