Alhaji Muhammadu Indimi, elder statesman, philanthropist, and business magnate, has announced plans to mobilise a new wave of private investment into Borno State.
Indimi made the pledge on Tuesday when Governor Babagana Umara Zulum led a high-level delegation to his residence in Maiduguri.
The visit was to express appreciation for his recent two-billion-naira donation to the University of Maiduguri.
During the meeting, Indimi revealed that he has been in discussions with several domestic and international investors who are now showing strong interest in exploring business opportunities in Borno.
“Your Excellency, I am deeply touched by this honour from Borno. Everything I do is because I love my state. You are doing a great job,” Indimi said.
“Just yesterday, I received guests from Switzerland. I am proud because Maiduguri is now one of the most beautiful cities in Nigeria.
“Many people are ready to come and invest, and soon you will begin to see them at the Government House.”
Indimi also announced additional plans to support the development of educational and healthcare infrastructure in the state, including interventions at Kashim Ibrahim University and the new Teaching Hospital currently under construction.
Governor Zulum, in his remarks, commended Indimi for his unwavering and transformative support for the education sector in Borno and across Nigeria.
