40+ Egyptian industrialists engage Ekiti as State advances major opportunities across agriculture, agro-processing, textiles and solid minerals, with potential to create thousands of direct and indirect jobs.
The Government of Ekiti State has taken another significant step in its drive towards industrialization following the conclusion of the Ekiti–Egypt Industrial Investment Mission, which generated a pipeline of opportunities with the potential to mobilise up to US$500 million in industrial and trade investment.
Held in Cairo from 24–28 July 2026, the five-day mission brought the Ekiti delegation into engagement with more than 40 Egyptian industrialists, manufacturers, processors, agribusinesses, mining operators and investors, resulting in eight Expressions of Interest (EOIs) and further commercial engagements across agriculture, agro-processing, commercial farming, seed production, textiles, manufacturing and solid minerals.
Hon. Ebenezer Boluwade, Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security, said:
“We want to build agricultural value chains where farmers have reliable markets, processors have access to the volumes and quality they require, and more of the value created from our agricultural resources remains within Ekiti. Connecting production to industry is central to our food security, employment and economic development agenda.”
Hon. Omotayo Adeola, Commissioner for Investment, Trade and Industry, said:
“Our focus now is conversion — moving from Expressions of Interest to site visits, commercial agreements, capital deployment, factories and jobs. Ekiti is open to serious industrialists and investors from Egypt and across the world who are prepared to build productive businesses within the State.”
Dr. John Moyo Ope Ekundayo, Special Adviser to the Governor, Office of Transformation & Service Delivery, added:
“The true measure of these engagements will be their impact on the ground — employment, stronger businesses, increased productivity and new economic activity. Our responsibility is to ensure that credible investors can move efficiently from interest to implementation.”
Taking Ekiti's Investment Proposition to the World,
Bamidele Seun Owoola, Founder of Welcome2Africa International, said the mission demonstrated the scale of international interest that could be mobilised around Ekiti's industrial opportunities.
