- The Governor said these after a closed-door meeting with President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Tuesday evening
Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has scored President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic policies high, saying they are good for Foreign Direct Investments (FDI).
Mbah also stated that the unified foreign exchange rates policy is having a positive influence on Enugu State’s drive for FDI.
The Governor said these after a closed-door meeting with President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Tuesday evening.
“Some of the Federal Government economic policies such as the removal of fuel subsidy were tough on the citizens in the immediate, they were bold therapies for the nation’s troubled economy and would greatly benefit the citizens ultimately.
“It is essentially to commend the president because a lot of things that he is doing at the national level are also rubbing off well on us at the state level – policies like the unification of the foreign exchange rate. What that simply means is that you are going to have a lot of FDI coming in, and we are also going to benefit from that.”
He further disclosed that Enugu State is safe for investors to bring in their investments assuring that South-east Nigeria is ready for investment.
Mbah said that the issue of sit-at-home and the attendant insecurity facing the southeast region of Nigeria have been sufficiently dealt with.
According to him, the Enugu State Government is working towards the construction of the cargo terminal and completion of the international wing of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, through collaborations with the federal government.
