Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, has said only Lagos stood ahead of the state in terms of investment drive and opportunity to net big investors from outside the country to Nigeria.

Obiano, who spoke during the opening ceremony of the sales outlet of a soon-to-be developed estate in the state, Awka Millennium City (AMC), said the state has been positioned as one of the top states in the country.



Represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof Solo Chukwulobelu, Obiano, in his address, said: “We are happy to say that things have moved quickly since after the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding in June, between M-P Infrastructure and the Anambra State Government.”

“This shows that M-P Infrastructure people are prepared for business. I encourage you to continue and I look forward to the ground-breaking ceremony for this tastily estate, in the next four months, whose kind can only be found in Abuja, Lagos, London and America.

“This administration is business-friendly, and we have been calling on sons and daughter of Anambra from all over the world to bring a part of their investment home.

“We are building a world-class state, and our people are speedily heeding our calls and bringing home their investments. With this speed, we are sure that no state in Nigeria can compete with Anambra in terms of attracting investments from outside.

“Our major competitor now is Lagos State, and we are sure that at this pace, we are going to take major investment opportunities from Lagos very soon,” the governor said.

Obiano added that with security in the state, and massive investments, Anambra sons and daughters from all over the world have no reason to remain outside as good infrastructure from residential areas to amenities and business-friendly environment have been made possible.

Earlier, Group CEO, M-P Infrastructure Ltd, Dr. Clem Nwogbo, stated that his company was poised to give Anambra an exquisite residential area for top class citizens, promising that the yet-to-be developed city would habour all top amenities found in top cities of the world.

“In developing the master plan for AMC, we have had to engage some of the best consultants in the world, to ensure we have the best infrastructure designed, using best in-breed specialist in road and drainage, power, water, sewage, environmental, access control and security solutions design.

“In the next four months, we hope to have completed the access road into the Awka Millennium Estate, fence wall, monument gate and have a fully operational concrete fabrication yard.

“Your Excellency, we did promise you at the conception of this project that we will move fast on this project and today’s opening of the sales and marketing suite and handover of some of the key assets for delivering Awka Millennium City is part of that commitment,” he said.

All the best

Mtcheew!

OK...that is the way to go. we need to decongest Lagos.

I like that. Galloping before learning to crawl. Obiano must be seeing everything from the altered perception of chronic alcoholism

Issokay

Everyone is entitled to his opinion

Dreamer

OK

its possible but it would recquire lots of planning.

Anambra is better located geographically to service the whole of Nigerian Internal economy, trade and commerce than Lagos.

Lagos would deal more on external Trade.

That is a welcomed development

I dey smell lies

It is good Mr Obiano is using Lagos as a yardstick for greatness,
The Holy Book told us to be imitator of good things.

We all know why Lagos state remains the best state in Nigeria already...........!

I am an Igbo man, and am proud of Anambra for what they have been able to achieve, but for now this statement is a fallacy.

There are a lot of things that favours Lagos state.

Lagos was once a Federal Capital Territory

Lagos is a commercial town.
Lagos is an Industrial town
Lagos has Airport
Lagos has seaports
Lagos is still being favoured by the FGN as it sees it as the commercial headquarters of the country.

WHY NOT IF NOT

BUT FOR NOW

LAGOS IS THE 5TH LARGEST ECONOMY IN AFRICA AND OVER 60% OF NIGERIA'S ECONOMY

IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW!

it's possible but with adequate infrastructure, planning and commitment.. I see a major developmental boost in the South East in the future and it has gradually started..

Before we go gaga with premature celebration, is it possible to have an update on the ugu vegetable exports that were supposed to yield $5 million

Talk is cheap

Lmao yeah right we are glad for them

Actions speak louder than than words.
He can say it over and over again, if their actions doesn't change then the words is meaningless.

Is anything been done about the adequate infrastructure beyond just talking?
Does talking alone build anything

But his wife said that Willy doesn’t drink alcohol, he only drink champagne

better so that they will leave lagos for us.. but I know they can't let Anambra be no mass land.
Talk is cheap sha... because of small estate investment that not value one acres at Eko Atlantic city. Anambra can overtake New york or Shanghai no problem..
Lagos get cable bridge and Anambra too get

It is a free World

Anambra can overtake Lagos

There is nothing wrong with that


In fact urge your Igbo brothers to start leaving Lagos so they can invest in Anambra and all other South East states

The kind of investments pouring into Anambra state is scary. If the momentum is maintained then I don't see why they won't give Lagos a run for their money. Healthy competition is good for our economy and I appreciate his humility.

What is it with the tribalism?
Are the ports that give Lagos its advantage owned by the state or the federal government?
Is it not one small Fulani girl that your Buhari has put there to be collecting money for him?
Please stop roasting yourself along with your asun meat. Please.

incoherent rubbish as usual.
Kids everywhere.
Will you go return mom's phone before she wakes up and go shower to get ready for school little Segun.
Knocks!

The front horse leads the pack, you're talking of overtaking Lagos as a top investment destination where boys are fond of snatching bags and stabbing innocent people at Upper Iweka. You've not even talked about how you will drive in import volume at Onitsha River, in comparison with the seaport in Lagos. Good luck at that!
