The Enugu State Government, on Friday, took a bold step towards the actualisation of a $30 billion economy in the next four to eight years, as the State
successfully hosted an inaugural Enugu State Investment and Economic Growth Stakeholders’ Roundtable.
Speaking at the event, which was attended by prospective local and international investors, development financiers, and members of the diplomatic community, Mbah said that the theme of the event, “Leveraging Public-Private Partnerships,” underscored the administration’s vision to accelerate sustainable economic transformation powered by the private sector.
“Enugu State will become Nigeria/South East’s most remarkable success story driven by industrialisation and structural economic transformation, responsible public financial management, robust growth in trade and investment, and sustainable and inclusive infrastructural development. “My vision is to transition the state from public to private investment-led growth, which will eventually close our physical and social infrastructure gap, create hundreds of thousands of jobs for the people, and expand our economy towards the 30-billion-dollar growth trajectory that we know is achievable”, he stated.
Speaking at the event, the Deputy British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Jonny Baxter, commended the Dr. Mbah administration for putting together the roundtable.
