          "A two-day Borno State private-sector roundtable in Lagos on 8–9 October concluded with nine signed letters of commitment: six companies signed on the first day and three organisations on the second. Two investors received land-allocation approvals, and Airtel obtained right-of-way approval for telecommunications towers in the state.",
          "The state said an investment facilitation group would track commitments quarterly. The ministry also reported that Dangote Group allocated shares valued at ₦366 million for internally displaced people and returnees. The letters and pledges are commitments, not evidence that projects have been implemented."
