The Enugu state Governor, Peter Mba paid a courtesy visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Aso Presidential Villa, Abuja. They discussed potential areas of cooperation between the federal government and Enugu State, and he gave President Tinubu credit for the bold steps taken thus far at the national level.
In a statement released on his social media account, he said that the unification of the exchange rate is one of the FG’s economic policies that has rubbed off positively on the states, including Enugu. It has made it possible for investors to repatriate their funds and bring them in with ease.
His statement further reads, “Conversely, the elimination of fuel subsidies, although tough on the citizens at the moment, represents a daring solution to our country’s ailing economy. We are confident that in the long term, Nigerians will benefit immensely from it.
In Enugu, we’ve implemented various policies aimed at attracting investors. We have strengthened security, and normal activities take place every working day of the week. We’ve put the Monday sit-at-home behind us. What remains is to erase the sad experiences from our memories.
Some of our initiatives in Enugu State will necessitate close collaboration with the federal government. Along with our intentions to construct a cargo terminal, we also want to make sure that the international wing of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport is fully operational.
Through our interactions with the federal government, we will be able to obtain the necessary licences and permits, guaranteeing that we have an improved logistics hub that will enable us attract the needed investments. It gave me great pleasure to congratulate the president and ask that we keep working together.
Enugu State is open to investors from around the globe. More than ever before, we are ready for business”, he concluded.
