Chairman of South East Chapter of Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), Mrs Ada Chukwudozie has lauded the achievements of the governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in the past one year stating that the state is fast becoming an industrial hub.
ANN reports that Mrs Chukwudozie while speaking in a presentation at International Conference Centre, Awka, during the ceremony marking Soludo’s one year in office maintained that the impetus of flagship policies introduced by the Anambra State Governor administration has improved the manufacturing sector.
Listing the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) recently signed with Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EDDC), new road projects going on in many communities and recruitment of skilled manpower in basic education and healthcare delivery as flagships, she projected them to drive massive growth and development through productivity in power sector, physical infrastructure and human capital.
Acknowledging that the entire southeast economy stands to benefit from multiplier effect of some of Gov. Soludo’s policies, Chukwudozie explained that this could happen through consequential industrialisation of neighbouring states, if only they would also mark up their physical and human capital infrastructure, in time Anambra would no longer have enough space to accommodate influx of industries into the state.
“So the ease of doing business is to make the environment friendlier so that when you invite foreign investment, the environment will be friendly to welcome them. It will be so easy for any investor to come. I believe that Governor Soludo will also make Anambra the first state that comes to your mind when it comes to ease-of-doing business in Nigeria,” she said.
