Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago was received by the Moroccan Ambassador to Nigeria, Moha Ou Ali Tagma at the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco, Abuja, in his determination to ensure a remarkable development of the state.

The visit was necessary, considering the fact that the Kingdom of Morocco has made significant advancements in agricultural technology and practices, hence Governor Umaru Bago noted that collaboration in this sector can help improve agricultural productivity, promote sustainable farming methods and enhance food security in the state.

Other areas that the partnership will mutually benefit both parties are energy and railway transport with a view to fast-tracking the growth and development of the state.

The strong foundation about to be created between Niger State and the Kingdom of Morocco would bring about a sustainable growth, knowledge sharing and improved quality of life for their respective populations.
