Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang made his pitch in Lagos on Monday, telling investors plainly: the state is open for business. He spotlighted two of the region's most compelling draws, agriculture and mining, as the headline opportunities for anyone looking to put money to work in central Nigeria.
Plateau has long been known for its cool highlands and fertile farmland, and Mutfwang is leaning into that reputation. The governor's Lagos appearance signals a deliberate push to bring outside capital into a state that has historically been underleveraged despite its natural resources.
The details of specific investment packages or commitments from that meeting have not yet been made public, but the governor's willingness to take the pitch directly to Nigeria's commercial capital says something about the urgency behind the effort. Watch this space.
