Juan, who described the summit as rewarding, equally expressed delight with the rich contents of Nasarawa Economic development Strategy (NEDS) document, stating that it would further give him the clear insight of the state for positive partnership.

He commended the Nasarawa State Liaison Officer for his commitment, resilient and humility in promoting the good policies and programmes of Governor Abdullahi Sule, hitherto urging him to sustain the spirit.

Earlier, the SSA to Governor Sule on Abuja Liaison when presenting the NEDS document to the Spanish Ambassador, appealed to him to support the state governor’s unwavering commitment in making Nasarawa State among the three fastest growing economy in Nigeria.
