Overview
The December 2026 Niger State — Sakarya Edition is an official 6-day (5-night) Investment & Business Cooperation Delegation to Niger State, Nigeria, hosted by His Excellency Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago and Hon. Aminu Suleman Takuma, Commissioner for Investment, Commerce & Industry. Designed for Sakarya-based and Turkish companies, investors and decision-makers, the programme opens the door to trade, joint ventures, on-the-ground production and import opportunities — supported by Nigeria’s attractive government incentives. Niger State is Nigeria’s largest state by land area and a direct neighbour of the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja). Under Governor Bago’s ambitious reform agenda, the state is transforming through large-scale agriculture (mechanization, irrigation, food security and exports) alongside major investments in roads, healthcare, energy and the digital economy — making it one of West Africa’s most promising emerging investment destinations. The delegation combines high-level government meetings, sector-based B2B matchmaking, and strategic site visits with comfortable accommodation, full-board dining and all transfers. Participants meet ministries and agencies directly, assess the investment climate first-hand, and build concrete partnerships — from agriculture and agro-processing to energy, construction, housing and infrastructure. The programme is professionally coordinated in both Türkiye and Nigeria by Turquaz Travel together with the nigeriaturkiye.org / Afrosum Consultancy team, ensuring a seamless, results-oriented mission from arrival in Abuja to the closing session in Minna.
