Saudi Arabia-based Golden Group has expressed its readiness to establish long-term investment and commercial partnerships with the Bauchi State Government across multiple sectors of the economy.

The company's Owner and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Muhammad Faisal Al-Harbi, stated this during a courtesy visit to Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed at the Government House in Bauchi.

Al-Harbi said Golden Group, which has maintained business relations with Nigeria for more than 25 years, operates in Hajj and Umrah services, tourism, agriculture, mining, transportation, infrastructure development and housing.

He commended the Bauchi State Government for its investment-friendly policies and pledged the company's commitment to exploring business opportunities in the state.

He highlighted opportunities in agriculture, oil and gas, solid minerals, tourism, housing and infrastructure, while revealing plans to develop the state's aviation sector and enhance trade links with Saudi Arabia.

The meeting ended with both sides expressing optimism that the discussions would culminate in investment agreements, technical cooperation and stronger economic relations between Bauchi State and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. NNL.
