All is now set for the second edition of Anambra Investment Summit, 2024.

This was announced by the Managing Director Anambra State Investment Promotion and Protection Agency, ANSIPPA, Mr Mark Okoye, during a media briefing to bring to the notice of Ndi Anambra that it is that time of the year when important decisions, bold steps are taken to guarantee Anambra today and tomorrow.

Announcing the program at his office in Awka, Mr Okoye accompanied by the Commissioner for Information Dr Law Mefor and his Commerce and Industry counterpart, Mr Christian Udechukwu, said the event will hold on Thursday, 14th of November, 2024, at the International Convention Center, Awka, where investors of international repute, industrialists both within and outside the state are expected.
According to Mr Okokye, ANSIPPA hitherto known for land and equity deals has migrated from that and has keyed into Governor Chukwuma Soludo’ vision of making Anambra a hub for investment and industrialization and to project what Anambra will look like in the next fifty years when all his lofty vision for the state must have been put in place.

This he said the Governor is set to achieve through provision of infrastructure, good road network, steady power supply which he said would be competitive as many investors would be signing deals for provision of power at a cheaper rate to Ndi Anambra to drive the many investments that would happen in the state soonest.

He recalled that the first edition of Anambra Investment Summit featured award of many projects by the Governor which are ongoing and signing of contracts with many serious investors who are also already on ground.

Mr Okoye added that this year’s summit will feature reports on the project already on going and more contracts with investors whose capabilities are tested and trusted as well as engagements with more financial institutions since they are already partnering with Afrexim bank, Bank of Industry, SMEDAN among others

On his part, the Commissioner for Information, Dr Mefor recalled that Governor Soludo during his days as CBN Governor, reshaped the economy of the country expressing optimism that with his wealth of experience and as a renowned economist, driving Anambra economy and that of Nigeria at large will be very easy for him being an expert in the profession.

On security, Dr Mefor said that Anambra is very safe for investment unlike what is happening in other states in South East and the nation at large, urging everyone to come home and build the Anambra of their dreams together with the government through the Public Private Community Partnership program of Governor Soludo.

The Commissioner for Commerce and Industry Mr Udechukwu noted that Anambra has been ranked the first in the ease of doing business in Southern Nigeria, the seventh in Nigeria and the first state with super support to Small and Medium Enterprises in terms of tranches of funding that has enabled many of them to grow from small to medium enterprises, adding that the investment summit is another opportunity to bring in more investors that will drive Anambra economy to the desired height.
