Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah, at the weekend, inaugurated the Enugu Investors Network aimed at mobilising domestic investment.
The governor said his administration expected the state’s economic growth would come from investments from the private sector.
“So, we now have a government in Enugu State that has expressed a humongous vision and ambition as to where we want to see Enugu in the next four to eight years under our watch. We proposed to grow this economy from $4.4 billion to $30 billion to become one of the top players in Nigeria by GDP in the next four to eight years.
“So, my intention here today is to elicit your engagement, your questions, and indeed your involvement on how we can grow Enugu’s economy and, by extension, the South East economy”, Mbah revealed in a statement made available to our correspondent.
The Secretary to the State Government, Professor Chidiebere Onyia, said: “This administration plans to grow the economy from the inside to outside, putting domestic industry at the centre of our economic plans.”
Prospective investors expressed their readiness to key into the investment and economic growth plans of the state government.
