According to him, the commissioning of the Factory marks an important milestone in the local foam manufacturing industry not just to Gombe State but to Nigeria as a whole.

“It is on this note that I want to assure Hara Foam And Chemical Limited that the State Government will continue to support the company and other similar investors in our quest to promote economic activities in Gombe State,” he said.

According to Gov. Yahaya, the industrialization process of Gombe State coupled with the availability of uninterrupted Power and Water along the
Industrial Park site as well as the Airways operations, will soon turn Gombe State to an industrial hub of the North-Eastern region.
“We are also living witnesses of the coming on board of the Madugu Cement Factory in Gombe State. Government has recently engaged the services of Consultants in the Oil exploration activities in order to derive maximum benefits.
“This becomes necessary following the discovery of huge deposits of Hydro-Carbon which Gombe State is endowed with,” he added.
The Governor said his administration would also continue to accord greater priority towards the maintenance of Peace and Security through the
Ministry of Internal Security and Ethical Orientation.
The establishment of the Ministry, according to him, has contributed immensely in the peaceful coexistence of the people and the provision of an
enabling environment for business and commercial activities in the State which led Gombe to win the First Position in Ease of
