Borno State Governor Babagana Umara Zulum has travelled to Canada for strategic engagements focused on partnerships in technology, education, agriculture, livestock and investment.
Zulum's visit is aimed at developing relationships between Borno State and Canadian institutions and industries as part of the administration's effort to diversify the state's economy and strengthen its human-capital base.
The governor is scheduled to meet representatives of Canadian universities, technology hubs and agricultural research institutions. The engagements are expected to explore technical support, knowledge transfer and investment opportunities.
Education discussions are expected to include scholarship opportunities for Borno students and vocational training programmes aligned with modern labour-market requirements. Technology engagements are also intended to explore digital literacy and innovation hubs in Maiduguri.
Agriculture and livestock form another part of the visit, with the state seeking to draw on Canadian expertise in food production, livestock development and value-chain improvement.
Before concluding the visit, Zulum is expected to present Borno's emerging investment opportunities to Canadian investors. The supplied account describes these as planned engagements; it does not establish completed agreements or investments arising from the visit.
