The Edo State Government has assured investors that necessary information required to make investment decisions are easy to access from relevant agencies of government in the state, as the Governor Godwin Obaseki-led administration deepens its open governance mechanism.
Senior Special Assistant to the Edo State Governor on Investment Promotion, Mr. Philip Uwaibi, said the meeting was organised to harmonise government data and ensure there is sufficient information for investors to make decisions. He said the target is to ensure that investors looking to invest in Edo would have all information needed to commit their funds into any sector in the state as sufficient information would be available on the database, noting, “We have been working with the Ministries, Departments and Agencies on this and are impressed with their response. However, we need to speed up the pace as the state is fast becoming an investor’s haven.
Senior Investment Officer, NIPC, Abdulrahman Adamu said the team was in the state to ascertain the level of work done on the Nigerian Investment Certification Programme for States ongoing across the country.
