The Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria, Uriel Palti, has indicated Israel’s willingness to collaborate with Kogi State government in order to harness the vast solid mineral deposits, as well as the tourism potentials of the North Central state. Kogi is said to harbour 29 out of the 34 mineral deposits in the country.

Palti, who was on an official visit to the state, gave the assurance during a reception by the state governor, Captain Idris Wada, accompanied by the deputy governor, Yomi Awoniyi, and other top officials of the state at Government House, Lokoja, recently.

He said having lived in Nigeria for the past 15 months as ambassador, he fell in love with the country, and was inclined to learn more about its rich cultural, economic, tourism opportunities, which abound outside the Federal Capital Territory.

He said he was delighted to accept the invitation of the governor to visit the state.

The ambassador then formally invited the governor to visit Israel with a view to meeting and discussing possible areas of investment with potential investors at the African Israeli Chamber of Commerce and Israeli Export Institute.
