The Deputy Governor of Kebbi State and Chairman of the Central Planning Committee for the 61st Argungu International Fishing and Cultural Festival, Senator Umar Abubakar Tafida, has formally declared the 2026 festival and Investors’ Forum open.
Describing the event as a grand curtain-raiser, Tafida said the opening ceremony was designed to showcase the rich heritage and national significance of the Argungu International Fishing and Cultural Festival to Nigeria and the wider world.
He said the gathering reaffirmed the commitment of both the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Kebbi State Government to hosting a successful and spectacular 61st edition of the festival.
Highlighting the festival’s history, the Deputy Governor said the Argungu Fishing Festival originated more than 500 years ago as a local celebration marking the fishing season in Kebbi. It evolved into a major cross-cultural event in 1934 following a reconciliatory visit by the Sultan of Sokoto.
