The Chairman, Anambra State Investment Protection and Promotion Agency, ANSIPPA, Chief Joe-Billy Ekwunife stated this at the ANSIPPA Headquarters when he received the Kogi State New Direction Blueprint Team who were in the state on a peer learning and fact-finding mission.
Chief Ekwunife who explained that the Agency was set up by Governor Willie Obiano to initiate and support initiatives that will enhance the investment climate in the state as well as ensure that investment processes are devoid of rigours and bottlenecks, said so far the Agency had attracted over 3.2 dollars in investment.
The ANSIPPA however noted that the Agency has been able to achieve such feat because the Governor had created the enabling environment through the provision of adequate security and other basic infrastructure.
The outstanding thing about the investment ventures, he noted, was that they were designed to create abundant wealth and job opportunities for Ndi Anambra especially members of the host communities while the investors get maximum profit for their investments.
On his part, The Special Adviser to the Governor on Economic Planning and Budget and Member of ANSIPPA Board, Mr Mark Okoye said the Agency working together with line Agencies, has proved a veritable platform through which the Present Administration is consistently realizing its vision of making the state the first choice investment destination and a hub for business and industrialization in the Country.
The Leader of the Kogi Team, Bar. Moses Okezie-Okafor explained that the exercise was aimed at learning creative governance strategies that will leapfrog Kogi state development-wise by adopting practical strategies from states like Anambra that has blazed the trail in good governance and accelerated economic growth
