Anambra partners PEBEC to boost ease of doing business

Anambra State is stepping up efforts to become a prime destination for investment by partnering with the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC). The state government expressed its readiness to collaborate with PEBEC to actualize its "Vision 2070" agenda, aiming to transform Anambra into a hub for business and economic activity.

“

This programme is a repeat of what we have done in 2025 and we are fully prepared to key into it. Our major focus is to actualise the state governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo’s Vision 2070 agenda for the state.

Chiamaka Nnake, Secretary to the State Government, highlighted that this partnership is crucial for driving reforms that will simplify business operations not only in Anambra but also across the entire South-East region. She emphasized that the initiative aligns perfectly with Governor Prof. Chukwuma Soludo’s vision of making Anambra a digital and destination hub, thereby improving the state's business environment and fostering transparency between businesses and regulators.

Princess Zahrah Audu, Director General of PEBEC, explained that the nationwide tour is designed to strengthen business relationships with states and create a more conducive environment for investors. PEBEC aims to identify on-the-ground challenges and collaboratively develop solutions to make doing business easier for all Nigerians. President Bola Tinubu's administration is keen on shifting economic determination from Abuja to the states, local government areas, and industrial cities, making such town hall meetings vital for synergy with investors and stakeholders.

“

Our goal is to create an enabling environment that attracts investment and drives sustainable economic growth across Nigeria by engaging directly with stakeholders in every state and also to identify challenges on the ground and collaboratively develop solutions that make doing business easier for every Nigerian.

This initiative underscores a commitment to fostering sustainable economic growth through strategic partnerships. Anambra State is actively seeking participation from stakeholders and investors to key into the PEBEC program, recognizing its potential to drive development and create opportunities within the state.

President Bola Tinubu has consistently emphasised that the Nigeria economic will not longer be determined in Abuja, it will now be determined in states, local government areas and cluster industrial cities across the country, hence the town hall meeting to brainstorm and develop a synergy with investors and other relevant stakeholder on how to actualise the President’s vision for the country.
