“Today’s event is a product of the Kaduna Economic Summit in April this year, where it showcased the numerous investment potentials in the State,” he said. El-Rufa’i also appealed to the host community to support and cooperate with Vicampro to pave way for the attainment of its mission. Also speaking, Mr Godwin Emefiele, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) lamented the drop in oil prices, which he said had drastically affected the Country’s economy. ” There is therefore need for diversification as the only alternative.” Emefiele said there was need for synergy among all stakeholders to actualise the initiative.
