Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris warns that false security reports on social media could discourage investors, urging residents to verify information and support state development
Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris has raised concerns over false security reports circulating on social media, warning that they could deter potential investors from engaging with the state.
The governor spoke at the Government House in Birnin Kebbi during a visit by executive members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Birnin Kebbi Local Government Area.
Idris revealed that he had held discussions with international investors during foreign trips but alleged that misinformation from some residents was portraying Kebbi as unsafe, potentially undermining investment opportunities.
He cited ongoing plans by Romanian and Chinese firms to establish a lithium processing facility and a cement factory in the state, projects he said could create substantial employment.
The governor also dismissed allegations that his administration supports bandit groups or facilitates arms inflow, describing the claims as false.
Idris emphasized that his government has committed significant resources to security and urged residents to refrain from spreading unverified information that could harm Kebbi’s economic prospects.
