Kogi targets global investment in landmark Kuwaiti infrastructure talks

Kogi State Government has opened discussions with key Kuwaiti institutions to secure development financing, technical expertise and investment partnerships for projects covering water infrastructure, agriculture, energy, education, solid minerals and industrial development. The initiative followed a high-level visit to Kuwait by Kogi State Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo and senior government officials as part of efforts to implement the state’s 2024-2056 Development Plan. The engagements have also triggered a technical process through which priority projects are expected to undergo feasibility studies, financial assessment, engineering design and other preparatory work before implementation. At the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development (KFAED), Ododo met with Acting Director-General Rashaid A. Al-Bader and senior officials of the fund, where he presented Kogi’s development priorities and sought long-term cooperation. The governor said Kogi was looking beyond individual projects to establish a development partnership capable of converting the state’s natural and human resources into sustainable economic opportunities. He highlighted the state’s water resources, agricultural capacity, solid mineral deposits, strategic location and emerging energy opportunities as areas that could support job creation, food security and industrialisation if backed by appropriate infrastructure and technical expertise. The Kuwait Fund indicated its readiness, in principle, to work with Kogi on priority projects, subject to technical, financial and institutional appraisal processes. The proposed areas of cooperation include water infrastructure, irrigation, agricultural transformation, power and renewable energy, solid minerals and beneficiation, agro-industrial development, transport, communications and ICT, education and healthcare. The partnership could also provide support for project preparation, feasibility studies, engineering designs, technical assistance, institutional capacity development and environmental and social assessments.

He added that reliable electricity would strengthen agro-processing and industrial activities, while developing and processing solid minerals locally could enable Kogi to capture more value from its mineral resources. The governor’s delegation also held discussions with Kuwait University on possible collaboration in education, research, innovation, engineering, agriculture, water-resource management and technology. During a meeting with Kuwait University President Dina Musaed Al-Mailem, both sides explored opportunities for knowledge exchange, research collaboration and capacity development involving tertiary institutions in Kogi. The delegation further met with the Governor of Al Ahmadi Governorate, Sheikh Humoud Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, to explore a possible sister-government relationship and cooperation in infrastructure, investment, industry and development. Discussions were also held with Kuwait’s Minister of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy, Subaih Abdulaziz Al-Mukhaizeem, focusing on water infrastructure, irrigation, renewable energy, power development and technical cooperation. The talks are particularly relevant to Kogi’s plans to expand irrigation, promote all-season agriculture, develop agro-processing industries and improve energy infrastructure for industrial growth. The state government also used the visit to explore opportunities for stronger commercial and industrial links between Kogi businesses and Kuwaiti investors and institutions, with emphasis on investment, value addition and economic cooperation. A key outcome of the visit is the commencement of a technical process to develop the understandings reached during the engagements into concrete projects. The technical teams are expected to undertake project documentation, feasibility studies, technical assessments and other preparatory activities required to determine the viability and financing structure of proposed projects. Members of the delegation included Asiru Idris, Commissioner for Finance, Budget and Economic Planning; Momoh Ozigi Deedat, Commissioner for Works; Timothy Ojomah, Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security; Farouk Danlami, Commissioner for Water Resources; Yakubu Yusuf Okala, State Auditor-General; and Nda Salami, Chief Economic Adviser to the Governor. Ododo expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the Federal Government’s diplomatic support and the enabling environment for subnational governments to engage international development and investment partners. He also commended the Nigerian Embassy in Kuwait, led by Abubakar Sanusi Aliyu, for facilitating and supporting the engagements. The governor said the Kuwait mission had moved Kogi’s engagement with prospective development partners from high-level discussions towards detailed technical work on projects in water, agriculture and irrigation, energy, education and research, solid minerals, commerce and industrial development.
