Accelerating Anambra’s economic transformation’, Soludo called on investors to partner with the state to create prosperity for themselves and prosperity for the people of Anambra. Gov Soludo said….
“I join the organisers of this event in welcoming all of you to the 2024 Anambra investment summit. It is a platform created to celebrate strategic partnerships for Anambra’s transformation. Each investor is bringing something to Anambra State. This is an investment summit like no other. Anambra is much more than ready for investment. The fundamentals are very strong and we are doing everything possible to ensure we create the needed environment.
“Our mission is to turn Anambra from a departure lounge to an investment destination hub. We are building a state that I will be glad to live in when I leave office. Let us partner to create prosperity for you and prosperity for Ndi Anambra.
“In a few weeks to come, Anambra will become an investment destination hub. We are not asking the people to do us a favour, but we are asking them to invest in Anambra, in their best interest. Those who are investing now, especially in the three new cities we are building will be able to tell the story in a few years.
“It is not by mistake that Anambra is rated as the number one state in southern Nigeria in the ease of doing business, we have invested in bankable projects. Those who start will have the stories to tell, we have. Today, the land is platinum gold in Anambra, just like Lagos, we have the second smallest land mass after Lagos. But, while Lagos is expanding by reclaiming the ocean, in Anambra, the land is shrinking because of erosion, that is why land is priceless in Anambra.”
Gov Soludo assured investors of a smooth process, that anyone who wants to invest in Anambra will be given an irrevocable letter and a speedy certificate of occupancy would be issued within three days without going through bureaucratic bottlenecks.
