The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Candidate, and the Waziri of Adamawa, Alh. Atiku Abubakar, has pledged 10 billion dollars in business opportunities aimed at providing gainful employment for Nigerians. He also promised to resuscitate ailing industries back into production.

Similarly, he vowed to invest in agro-allied industries aimed at boosting massive food production for food security.

Speaking during his presidential campaign rally in Dutse, he stated that investing in agriculture and the resuscitation of our ailing industries will create job opportunities for poverty eradication, and massive food production if given the mandate.

“We intend to provide 10b dollars economic investments as a support to increase economic potentials of Nigerians to further increase job creation and wealth,” he said.

Similarly, he vowed to open all the closed borders across the country, stressing that when the borders are opened, they will allow the free flow of goods and services at cheaper rates for Nigerians.

Said he: “If I become the next president of Nigeria, I will work tirelessly to ensure that every part of the country was supported to utilise their area of comparative advantage in human and mineral resources for socio-economic development.

“I know Jigawa State’s strength in agriculture; we will support you with modern technology to improve your livestock and crop production.”

“I believe with improved agricultural practice and value chain, Jigawa can be one of the major exporters of non-oil produced in Nigeria and Dutse Airport will be the busiest Cargo Airport in the North,” he said.
