Her Excellency, Dr. Zainab Shinkafi Bagudu, on Saturday 27th February 2021, visited Vastum Aluminium factory in Tondi, along Yauri – Koko road.

The factory, which is about to start full operations, specialises in the corrugation of aluminum roofing sheets and alloy zinc, among others. It is the second of its kind in the state and only one in the Yauri axis.

The company’s Managing Director, Engr. Ahmad Rufai Khalifah, who received Dr. Bagudu at the factory, thanked her for the visit, and her commitment as the mother of the state, to see young people succeed in their various fields of endeavors. He said that the company was set up to reduce the burden for builders around the axis, who always have to buy roofing sheets from far locations, and in most cases damages due to occur before it arrives. The MD also thanked Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu for providing an enabling environment for entrepreneurs in the state.

Dr. Bagudu expressed satisfaction in the work done so far in the factory. This includes the assembly of two machines and their test running. She commended the young entrepreneur and further assured that the Bagudu-led administration will patronize and support the company in line with the governor’s vision to support emerging businesses in the state to thrive.
