Borno State has seen a significant move in its economic reconstruction efforts with the appointment of Sa’id Alkali Kori as the Chief Investment Adviser and Pioneer Chairman of the Borno State Investment Promotion Agency by Governor Babagana Zulum. This strategic decision aims to leverage Kori's extensive expertise in infrastructure finance to promote investments and drive economic growth in the region.

Kori, who holds a PhD focused on Intellectual Capital from the University of London, has previously served as an Honorary Special Adviser on International Relations and Investment to the Governor of Yobe State. His background in entrepreneurship and investments positions him uniquely to lead the newly constituted Governing Board, indicating a proactive approach by the Borno state government to address the economic challenges facing the region and attract both local and foreign investments.

The appointment reflects a broader trend in Nigeria where state governments are increasingly recognizing the need for specialized knowledge in driving development projects. Under Kori's leadership, the Borno State Investment Promotion Agency aims to enhance the state's infrastructure, thereby improving the economic landscape and facilitating better living conditions for its citizens, while also showcasing the state's potential to external investors.
