The Anambra state born visionary personage Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah has stated that with conscientious interventionist policy, the commerce driven potentials of the state can be enhanced to become a commercial hub of the entire Sub-Sahara Africa.

Speaking at his country home Nnewi after FC Ifeanyi Ubah had defeated Rangers International with one goal to nil, during an interactive session with market leaders of the State , he said " we are blessed with ideas that can replicate Chinese type of economic recovery here in Anambra State if government understands its role in commerce. It is not just about collecting tax but to create commercial enhancement policy relationship between it and business owners " .

With government partnership with the traders and other business owners in the state, we can create a thriving local economy in Anambra state that will make it a commercial hub in sub-Sahara Africa" he re-iterated.

Ubah who went on to state that Anambra state must think beyond waiting for Federal Government intervention when we can build a strong economy on our own without looking the direction of the center.

" We as a state must get ambitious towards enhancing our commercial potentials by partnering with the traders in our state . 21century is not a century for lazy sub-national governments, rather a century that beckons on States to build a thriving local economy "

You can't grow a commercial activities in any territory where the traders or investors are not making profit . However, attracting business to the state is not enough, but making Policies that will reduce the cost of doing business in the state and create profit margin that will encourage business expansion which will in turn aid our economic recovery"

Without creating road map for commercial activities ,we will remain stagnant economically". Ubah said .

The man many call ideas bear, stated that Igbo race is endowed with the potentials to rival China in doing business, but regrets that our businessmen and women lack the requisite support of their state government which their Chinese counterparts do enjoy.
" We are the only black race that can mimick the Chinese style of doing business, but unfortunately our business players do not get government support like that of their Chinese counterparts. If I have the opportunity to govern Anambra state, I will not just replicate but internalize the Chinese model of commerce here in Anambra state " he said .

Ubah who speaks over 4 western languages and about 5 African languages stated that his knowledge of International business politics and that of local economy will help him achieve his set goals on issues of creating synergy between the international Business community and the local economy.

" See , I understand International business politics and how to synergize with foreign and local interest institutions for the benefits of our state's commerce. The point is that a 21century business community needs government with knowledge of commerce to thrive ."he said.
