And U will steal in Lagos, caught in Kaduna, beaten in Abia, die in Enugu and buried in Anambra..

Na joke o

See how they rephrased it as 'in descending order', instead of coming out straight to say Kaduna State came 1st - most likely due to their hate for El-Rufai.

If they can see this post, then let them provoke

Abia is business friendly and Eco viable

Xander85:
Stupid political award! What reform are they talking about in Abia?

I don't give much weight to ratings and awards made in Nigeria.....they can easily be bought or given based on political and other extraneous reasons!

The level at which people underate Abia start is something else, what do you guys take that beautiful state for, do you know the amount of wealth that small state generat to the federal government? That state is what it is today because of their greedy failed leaders

Five states of the Federation on Wednesday night received awards for been top five reformed states in the year 2018.

The states in descending order included Kaduna, Enugu, Lagos, Abia, and Anambra.

They received their awards from Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) Awards 2019 held at the old Banquet Hall of the State House, Abuja.

Anambra State improved its score from 47 to 53.50 by making it easier to start a business and to register property in the State. – Abia State improved its score from 46 to 53.90 by making it easier to start a business and to register property in the State. – Lagos State improved its score from 48 to 54.90 by making it easier to start a business, register property and obtain construction permits in the State. – Enugu State improved its score from 47 to 56.82 by making it easier to start a business, register property as well as enforce contracts in the State. – Kaduna State improved its score from 55 to 65.97 by making it easier to start a business.

Other companies and individuals that got awards at the ceremony included Oil and Gas Free Zone Authority, Corporate Affairs Commission, National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion.

Banwo and Ighodalo, KPMG Nigeria, Procter and Gamble Nigeria, Deloitte Nigeria and Aluko and Oyebode also got awards at the ceremony.

Osinbajo said “It really is a pleasure to be here this evening to celebrate the phenomenal successes of the PEBEC reforms but more importantly to recognize specially some of those who made it all possible. Our incredibly selfless and committed private sector partners and the sterling performance of many in the public sector.I n the past three years, Nigeria has implemented more than 140 reforms to make doing business in Nigeria easier.

“Some of the successful reforms include the ability to: Reserve a business name within 4-hours, Complete the registration of a company within 24 hours online, Apply for and receive approval of a visa-on-arrival electronically within 48hrs, File and pay taxes online; and, Access specialised small claims commercial courts in Lagos and Kano, The World Bank also reported in 2018 that 32 states of Nigeria improved their Ease of doing business environment led by Kaduna, Enugu, Abia, Lagos and Anambra

“In 2019, PEBEC set a goal to move Nigeria into the top-100 on the 2020 World Bank Doing Business Index (DBI). To achieve this, we will be pursuing the continued implementation reforms across all indicators, including

“implementation of legislative reforms, specifically the passage of the new Companies and Allied Matters Act and the Omnibus Bills, the expansion of the regulatory reform program started with NAFDAC and NAICOM to include other regulators, the establishment of a National Trading Platform for ports; and the concession of our major international airports.”

Stressing that PEBEC has now commenced the fourth 60-day National Action Plan (NAP 4.0) on Ease of Doing Business, he said, NAP 4.0 is running from the 1st of March to the 29th of April, 2019.

“It aims to deepen the reforms delivered over the past 3 years and drive institutionalization.

“We have highlighted key action items in all of the focus areas to ensure they do not unravel, and to ensure we drive sustainability

“Some of the targets achieved in the last NAP 3.0 include driving registration for utilization of the National Collateral Registry to facilitate access to credit for SMEs; Clearance of all pending NAFDAC registration applications to improve efficiency; and Creation of a strengthened single joint cargo examination interface in all airports & seaports for import and export to reduce the time spent at the ports.”

He added “NAP 4.0 will focus on initiatives such as enforcing compliance with SLAs across all indicators/focus areas, driving the passage of the CAM Bill 2018 for improved effectiveness of company law in Nigeria, enhancing efficiency in the small claims court, and enhancing the application and approval system for visas on arrival, to mention a few.”

The Council, he said, will continue to work extensively with all MDAs, the National Assembly and other key stakeholders.

He said “All of us who have been involved in this incredible journey will agree that it has been both exciting and fulfilling even if admittedly sometimes frustrating. But that is the way of progress. I congratulate you all for the great successes and thank you all for keeping faith with our joint vision. In particular we must commend our private sector partners who have contributed immensely to the technical output of the EBES through the secondment of professional staff to the secretariat. Let me specially mention the KPMG Professional Services, Deloitte, Procter and Gamble, Banwo&Ighodalo, Aluko and Oyebode.

“The NBA-SBL was also particularly instrumental in the drafting of the omnibus bill. About 40 law firms worked pro-bono towards this effort. Our nation is truly grateful to you.

“We must also commend the Hon. Minister of Industry Trade and Investment Dr OkeyEnelamah for his focused and forthright leadership, and the incomparable and tireless Senior Special Assistant to the President on Industry Trade and Investment Dr JumokeOduwole and her team.

“To the rest of us I think we have demonstrated that the work of creating a world-class environment for commerce will be done by like minds in the Nigerian private and public sectors, and these are the exceptional ladies and gentleman such as yourselves who form the PEBEC family, well-done everyone God bless you.” he stated.

It's a sign of immaturity to start throwing about tribalistic words and statements without provocation. There was simply no reason to start mentioning Yorubas at that time. You can celebrate all the Igbo Amaka stuff, that's perfectly alright but to start involving other tribes without a just cause is childish.

That you haven't seen me challenge those who insult Igbos doesn't mean I don't do it. My moniker isn't a popular one on Nairaland so you probably haven't noticed any of my comments before.

otiwisdom:
The tribalism in nairaland and in Nigeria is getting too much. How will Nigeria ever grow,in my state where I am from,they are usually below other state in education, trading e.t.c still yet will don't complain.
But any some thing should happen in other state you star hearing things like afonjas,ipob e.t.c.What are these, they are all chidlish acts.
Stop tribalism!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop tribalism!!!!!!!!!!
Stop tribalism!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop tribalism!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop tribalism!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop tribalism!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop tribalism!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop tribalism!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop tribalism!!!!!!!!!!!

The simple solution is to ignore offending posts and posters. I do that all the time. The whole thing will die down.

Is anyone's name ''Afonja' or 'Ipob' so why bother to reply and set fuel to fire. Who benefits from all these except the mods who look to drive traffic with uninspiring drivel.

Virtually all the intelligent folks we used to know and converse with on this forum over many years have left. I never knew anyone in person but through conversation you know people in spirit.... its sad
