has launched the Enugu edition of the Nigerian Investment Certification Programme for States,, a programme designed to prime the states to attract both local and foreign investments.
She said the agency was quick to launch the programme in Enugu State given the vast investment opportunities in the state and governor’s drive to harness them and also revive the state’s moribund assets. “An important factor in attracting investment is the availability and clarity of land titling. The Enugu Geographic Information Service created by the present state government plays a crucial role in this area.
Governor Mbah, who was represented by Deputy Governor, Barr. Ifeanyi Ossai, reiterated the administration’s determination to transition the state from a civil-service state to a private sector-driven economy.“When we sought to serve our people, we understood clearly that we must migrate them from a predominantly civil service state to a productive state that we must curate investment.
“All of us here are marketing officers and investment officers for the state. Our appetite to have investors is insatiable. That is what we wake up every morning thinking of how to do.
