Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State has stated that Nigeria was one of the most fertile countries for investment.
Speaking at the Governor’s Lodge when a team of investors from China and Japan paid him a courtesy call, Obi said the country had no condition nor restriction, and had created freedom for in-flow of capital and easy repatriation of profit by investors. In addition, he said that Nigeria had the biggest market in Africa that provide viable alternative to the high competitive markets in developed economies.
The governor noted that Anambra as home of entrepreneurship requires increased power supply as more industries and businesses would soon come on stream and urged investors to take advantage of the untapped resources in independent power supply and huge agricultural potential in the State to invest in it.
Governor Obi explained that Agriculture held the key to the future of the country to feed her teaming population, generate revenue and create employment.
The leader of the team, Prince Akuzu Nwokedi said the team was ready to facilitate the completion of the Anambra State refinery project with Orient Petroleum Incorporation, USA.
