The Enugu State Government has announced plans to host an Investment and Economic Growth Stakeholder Roundtable meeting in September 2023.
The roundtable meeting according to the state Governor, Dr. Peter Mbah will herald the launch of the first edition of the Enugu State Diaspora and Investment Forum (ES-DIF) scheduled for April 2024.
“ES-DIF will be a multi-stakeholder, fully transactional platform championed by the Enugu State Government to accelerate the identification, preparation, curation, and financial closure of investment projects to achieve the State’s Private Sector-Led Economic Transformation Agenda.”
“It aims to attract at least US$2.0 billion in investment interests, in its first year and is geared towards identifying and curating projects to bankability,” Mbah said.
Part of the plans include: Facilitating policy reforms, technical assistance support and innovative partnerships; mobilizing capital for bankable projects, including net-zero aligned projects that can unlock the economic potential of Enugu State and South-Eastern Nigeria.
“Implementing an annual investment marketplace with special boardrooms for government agencies, potential investors, and project sponsors to match and mutually de-risk projects. And accelerating the financial closure of investment deals brought to the ES-DIF platform by public and private investors. This is a giant stride that holds great prospects,” Peter Mbah Governor Enugu State.
