Jigawa State was created by former President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida GCFR in 1991. 21 years later, specifically in August 2012, the beautiful state rolled out the drums to celebrate their rich culture, tradition, history and various developmental hurdles that had been scaled over the years. Today, Jigawa State is being transformed into a new world, blessed with such huge natural endowments and investment opportunities. Since Governor Sule Lamido was sworn in as the Executive Governor of Jigawa State, he has hit the ground running, embarking on the completion of all abandoned projects and developing the various natural endowments of the state to attract both foreign and local investments. Jigawa State, under the able leadership of Sule Lamido, prides itself in developing both the tangible and intangible sectors of the economy, from healthcare delivery, free education for the girl child, provision of potable water, accessible roads and opening up villages with good road network and interconnectivity to the provision of social security and basic infrastructure. Indeed, Jigawa State is one of the fastest growing economies of West Africa today, blessed with a visionary leader of impeccable character and integrity.
