He further said that the collaboration aligned with Nigeria’s vision to diversify the economy and reduce dependency on oil revenue.
The minister also said he had entered an agreement with Zerberced to encourage investors and the upcoming tax credit to facilitate further development.
“Our goal is to empower local industries and create an environment that nurtures innovation and productivity, and we believe that this partnership will foster a resilient economy.
“We believe that the partnership will ensure that the local population benefits from the nation’s industrial growth,” he said.
Wike also said that the ongoing Abuja Business and Investments Summit would strengthen the potential for collaboration with Istanbul in areas like housing, roads, and energy.
He expressed optimism that the collaboration between Istanbul and FCT would create a synergistic environment for industrial growth, aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda.
Earlier, Kurt said that the Zeberced Group, known for its expertise in sustainable development and industrial solutions, would leverage its technology and experience to support local businesses and entrepreneurs.
“By working closely with the FCTA, we aim to position Abuja as a leading industrial hub in Nigeria,” Kurt said.
