Governor of Enugu State, Dr Peter Mbah, on Thursday inaugurated the Enugu State Ease-of-Doing-Business Council, aligning the move with his administration’s commitment to transform the state’s economy from $4.4bn to $30bn by positioning it as a leading hub for business, investment, tourism, and quality living.
Speaking at the inauguration of the 25-member council at the Government House, Enugu, Mbah, who also chairs the council, emphasised that investors are driven by returns, not charity, and will naturally gravitate toward environments that guarantee higher return on investment and a business-friendly climate
“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,” he said in a statement.
