Full Speech: Gov Mbah’s Keynote Address At Nigerian Indonesian Investment, Trade Forum
The Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah has said that Nigeria and Indonesia have mutually beneficial circumstances that have uplifted the lives of the people both in political and economic spectra.
Governor Mbah stated this in his keynote speech titled “Discovering Business Potential in Enugu and Indonesia-Keynote” at the ongoing Nigerian Indonesian Investment and Trade Forum in Jakarta, Indonesia.
His full speech reads: “A deep sense of appreciation is all I feel at this great opportunity given me to be part of your event this morning, and a deeper sense of gratitude still that I am asked to give the keynote address of this epochal event.
Mbah’s Investment Pilgrimage to Jakarta, Indonesia
When Governor Peter Mbah unveiled his Statement of Purpose ahead of the 2023 governorship election in Enugu State, his promise to grow the state’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) seven folds from $4.4 Billion to $30 Billion generated mixed reactions, as many saw it as a tall order for a state renowned as a public service state. Five months down the line, however, Mbah is gaining more converts as he presses towards the target with the right policies, structures, and both local and international partnerships in place.
From tackling the security challenges headlong, including putting an end to the illegal sit-at-home, to improving ease of doing business, hosting the first Enugu State Investment and Economic Growth Plan Stakeholders Roundtable, introducing e-ticketing and automating revenue collection, and the recent flag off of the construction of a New Enugu City and 400 kilometres of various roads to bolster infrastructure needed to attract investments, the governor is not leaving any stone unturned.
Last week, Mbah took his quest for investments to southeast Asia where he marketed Enugu to investors at the Nigerian-Indonesian Investment Trade Forum in Jakarta, Indonesia. Themed “Rediscovering Business Potentials in Nigeria and Indonesia”, the event, which was facilitated by the Nigerian-Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NICCI), came after the first edition in 2022 attended by the then Vice of President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
