-

The US has indicated her interest to partner with the government of Ebonyi state in Agricultural sector and solid mineral development.
This statement was made by the US Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Stuart Symington, when led a team of US diplomats to Ebonyi state on Friday.
He said   he was impressed that the governor  was putting government to work for the benefit of the people.

 

He said," I was particularly honored because   I had the chance to see before I got here(Government House, Abakaliki). I have  gone round to see what  you people in  state are doing and your leadership to improve infrastructure. I had the chance to see what the people of your state are doing to improve their lives like farming. I had the chance to see your rice and it is one of the best you can find anywhere in the world. 

"I had the chance to see the place where the people of the state will be working for the future, that is the new secretariat and the government lodge and  specifically,these are telling me that under your administration with the support of your people, you  are putting government to work for the benefit of your people.“

 The envoy, according to a statement on Saturday by Umahi’s Chief Press Secretary, Emma Anya,  also commended the governor for embarking on massive road construction to connect neighboring states.

 

Pointing out  that the idea would lead to    economic integration with Ebonyi’s neighbours, he assured the Umahi administration of Washington’s    partnership especially   in wooing investors to the state particularly in the areas of agriculture and solid  mineral development

Symington, who  said that investment opportunities were the first approach towards attracting investors to the state, noted  that infrastructural development and adequate security  were   imperative in   wooing  foreign investors.

He added: "The first critical step involves upgrading the economic fortunes of the state, and also setting up opportunities in this area that would welcome businessinvestors to this state   thereby making it possible for investment .

"I cannot think of any more compelling message than this   and I urge  the state government to abide by this  because it will bring investors to the  State  .

The    envoy urged the state government to sustain the prevailing peace and security in the state, noting that no meaningful development  can take place in an atmosphere of rancour.
