“A pipeline of 30 potential project opportunities with an estimated investment value of more than 2.1 billion dollars was presented, and I’m hopeful that these transformative projects will affect and improve the quality of life and standard of living for Ndi Enugu.
“The projects in our pipeline range from specialist geriatric, paediatric, and maternal care hospitals to natural gas-to-power plants and renewable energy parks to meet our state’s 690 megawatts base load requirement and ensure the sustainability of the energy sector.
“We welcomed various investors from the private sector and listened to their contribution towards growing the Enugu economy and was taken by their willingness to invest in our state. We shall address the bottlenecks identified to ensure the ease of doing business.
“While we look forward to our Summit next year, I invite our people in the Diaspora to confidently invest in Enugu State because we are open for business.”
