Distinguish invited guests, ladies and gentlemen, Borno State was faced by existential threat hitherto by the insurgents where thousands of our people were displaced by the insurgents and had to flee to safer places including our neighbouring countries of Chad, Cameroon and Niger Republics. But today, we all have to thank almighty Allah, as inaccessible road were opened up and became Free and safe to travelers. In the same vein, most of the internally Displaced persons ( IDPs ) are being returned to their ancestral homes and business activities are gradually picking up across the state.

Our economy needs resuscitation and this is a task that requires collective and concerted efforts all and sundry. Our intention and desire is not to expose the economic potential of Borno State but also to invite and encourage investors to come and team up with us in our struggle to transform Borno State Back into a better investment destination and among the best in Nigeria. Borno State is richly endowed with vast agriculture land for cultivation of both food and cash crops which include Groundnuts, beans, cotton, guinea corn, millet, wheat, Rice, Gum, Arabic, fruits and vegetables and potential to many unknown tropical crops and tree crops. Animal husbandry in Borno is centuries long tradition and practice, Borno being one of the highest producer of cattle, camel,sheep and goats is another area that deserves the attention of any serious investor. Products such as hides and skin, meat and milk are in commercial quantities to sustain any industrialist wishing to establish any modern agri-bussiness outfit.

In addition to these, there are mineral resources among which are potash,feldspar, clay, quartz,kaolin and most of these mineral are yet to be developed.Preliminary investigation have indicated that these mineral resources exist in commercial quarantine.on the international frontie, Borno State shares international frontiers with three countries, namely; the Republics of Niger, Chad and Cameroon.Borno State is therefore placed in a strategic position in terms of availability of markets for export commodity production. The Nigeria National Petroleum company limited and some private firms are continuing with oil exploration within the state and there is great potential for oil and gas in the state.I am therefore encouraging invest in the state to make the export of non-oil products.

Finally, I would like to seize this opportunity to enjoin all stakeholders here for the annual General meeting and Election of the new Executive Members as well as the contestants to play by the rules and ensure politics without bitterness but with a lot of fairness.

At this point,I now have the honour and privilege to declare the annual General meeting open while wishing you a successful meeting a fair and free election of new Executives.
