The United States of America (USA) has applauded Enugu state Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi on what it described as the new face of business environment in the state, saying that the state was now a destination for investment.
Speaking during a courtesy visit to Ugwuanyi at the Government House, Enugu, yesterday, the U.S Commercial Counselor, Brent Omadahl, who led a delegation from the Country’s Mission in Nigeria, appreciated the existing business relationship between the local companies in the state and in the United States as it was possible because of the peace and conducive business atmosphere provided by the governor. Omadahl said: “We came in the direction of the U.S. ambassador to Nigeria.
He came and saw you. He had a conversation with you on what we can do to drive business to Enugu. With that in mind, we reasoned that the trade fair will be a good time to come and talk about business.
Many companies in the U.S. are willing to come to the state to do business because of the friendly environment. My office is actually a network to facilitate these opportunities.” Responding, Ugwuanyi expressed delight at the visit, saying that it had offered his administration a rare opportunity to deepen its bond of friendship, highlight areas of mutual interests and discuss potential opportunities particularly on trade and investment.
He said: “Enugu State indeed offers a peaceful and viable destination for U.S. firms interested in agriculture, healthcare, transportation, education, information and communications technology, power generation, and small business development.
