The livestock transformation drive of Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has once again attracted both national and international recognition, with Gombe named among only three States in Nigeria selected to join the country\u2019s delegation to the forthcoming Sommet D\u2019\u00e9levage (the World Livestock Summit ) scheduled to hold from 5th to 11th October 2025 in Clermont-Ferrand, France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The endorsement came from the World Bank through the Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support (L-PRES) Project National Coordination Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The National Coordination Office, in an official communication, commended Governor Inuwa Yahaya, for his visionary leadership and steadfast support for livestock transformation in Gombe State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The letter emphasized that the outstanding performance of Gombe State in implementing the L-PRES project, as assessed by the World Bank, earned it a well-deserved place on the national team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the National Project Coordinator, Malam Sanusi Abubakar, Gombe State’s strong project performance, backed by functional State Steering and Technical Committees, has made it a model for livestock sector reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gombe delegation will join the national team in engaging with global stakeholders, investors and experts in livestock production, trade, and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The summit, which is Europe\u2019s largest livestock gathering, will focus on sustainability, innovation and opportunities in the livestock ecosystem, giving participants access to cutting-edge ideas and international collaborations aimed at strengthening value chains and attracting investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The participation of Gombe State in this global event could not have come at a better time, as the state continues to unlock its agribusiness potential through robust and strategic investments under Governor Inuwa Yahaya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With projects such as the establishment of the Gombe Agro-Livestock Development Zone, which includes an ultramodern abattoir, international livestock market, tannery, leather factory, and other facilities, the state is steadily repositioning itself as a livestock hub for Nigeria and West Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gombe State Government is expected to leverage the summit to attract partnerships and adopt best practices that will further boost the state\u2019s livestock productivity, resilience and economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
