Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, said his administration would collaborate with the government of Sweden to boost the state’s economy through mining, agriculture, renewable energy, education, and healthcare.
The governor stated this when he hosted the Swedish Ambassador in Nigeria, Annika Hahn-Englund, in his Abuja office.
The governor’s spokesman, Sulaiman Bala Idris, in a statement Sunday, said the Swedish envoy’s visit allowed both parties to engage in bilateral talks.
“Sweden has expressed interest in partnering with Zamfara State to build long-term relationships and implement transformative projects for the state’s people in Nigeria,” the statement said.
