The chairman of the board of GSIPDC, Dr Umar Kwairanga , who led his members on a courtesy visit to the director-general of the NIPC in Abuja recently, said ever since the establishment of the company in 1999 to manage the state investment buildup and drive development, the company had barely achieved its set goals and objectives.
Kwairanga said, “My board was inaugurated in July 2021 and we have set for ourselves the task of positioning the company at the forefront of the development narrative in Gombe State.“This involves resuscitating various legacy assets and projects as well as actualising the new initiative of Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya’s administration such as the Gombe Industrial Park and Special Development Zones plan for the three senatorial zones.
“The Nigerian Investment Promotion Council was established in 2004 to encourage, promote and coordinate investment in the Nigerian economy. From that perspective, the Gombe State Investment and Property Development Company is also an Agency registered and empowered to do same in Gombe State.
