Governor of Enugu State, Dr Peter Mbah, yesterday inaugurated the Enugu State’s Ease-of-Doing-Business Council, saying it was in tandem with his electoral promise to grow the state into a $30bn economy from $4.4bn by repositioning it as the premier destination for business, investment, tourism and living.
Inaugurating the 25-man council at the Government House, Enugu, Mbah, who is also the chairman of the council, stressed that investors were not Father Christmas and would naturally tilt to where there is conducive environment and higher return on investment, RoI.
“Recall that one of the first activities that I performed after my swearing in was to sign Executive Order 005, which speaks to Ease-of -Doing-Business. It largely tells us that we cannot achieve the ambitious economic growth plan that we have given ourselves if we do not attract private investments.
“Therefore, for us as a state government, this Ease-of- Doing-Business Council is consistent with our objectives to ensure that we create an environment for businesses to thrive.
