Ebonyi State Now Home For Both Local And Foreign Investors

By Francis Nwaze

The greatest undoing in the eyes of development pundits is shortsightedness, that is, the inability to see opportunities for both short, medium, and long term investments. Those with foresight and hindsight foray into the minutest locations with the belief you may still hope that in no distant future, such remote locations will become a goldmine. Microscopic few are associated with uncommon traits.

History is replete with stories of men with uncommon pursuits entering seemingly impossible missions and ended up conquering such places. Christopher Columbus in 1492, Italian explorers - Amerigo Vespucci 1523, and Ferdinand Magellan, who between 1519-1522 made inroads into what is today known as America will forever be known in history as seers -for entering where could then rightly be described as horrendous human caves! Today America is named after America Vespucci!

As the 21st Century is fast winding down, relocating from other states in the country for investments in any areas of human endeavor is the beginning of wisdom. How did I know this?

Modern investors unlike ancient explorers, look for a peaceful location for investment because hostilities endanger economic growths. Ebonyi State, under, the current administration of Governor David Umahi, FNSE, FNATE prides herself as the most peaceful and secured state, not just in Nigeria, but sub-Saharan Africa!

The creation of the Neighborhood Watch -security network that roots out criminals from their den and warren have made it possible for people to sleep with their eyes closed. No more kidnappings and ritual killings in the state. The spread of its NSW with presence in the 171 electoral wards in the state has warded off crimes. Ebonyi State is naturally endowed with natural resources -led, salt, gold, bitumen, tar, and sharp sands. Miners can take advantage of it. The Ebonyi State Government has already incentivized it - thereby making it easier for investors!
The Umuoghara Waste to wealth Plant, sitting on 200 hectares recycles biowastes into various products for industrial and domestic use. With over 15,000 direct and indirect jobs, already created, by the plant, the state is burgeoning with economic activities -a critical requirement needed by any investor! The state, you may wish to know is the only state in Nigeria that has established and run pipe production company-exporting pipes to other neighboring countries and regions.

The International Market, which hosts buyers and sellers from Niger, Cote devoir, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameron, Ghana, Togo, Dubai, China, and some European countries, the state becomes the most sought after investment hub of the 21st century. The market patterned after the Tsukiji Fish Market, in Tokyo, Viennese Christmas Market, Vienna Austria, and Grand Bazaar, Istanbul Turkey is an infrastructural masterpiece of the millennium - housing university, secondary, nursery schools, and worship centers, with facilities for night trading.

Another facility put in place by Governor Umahi led Ebonyi State, is the ongoing construction of the Ebonyi State International Airport which has arguably opened the state's airspace to the wider world. The Airport when completed will help investors to get in and out of the state. This bears the signature of a leader with foresight.

More so, the Ebonyi State International Stadium - social cynosure which hosts international sports festivals is a crowd-pulling facility.

Governor Umahi during his routine intrastate project inspection tours observed that the Southeast geopolitical zone does not have an international stadium with capacity for large tournaments, hence the urgent need to construct one. In other words, Ebonyi is prepared to host the world in no distant future.

For those interested in agro-allied businesses, the Ebonyi State Government has already enacted policies, such as the One Man One Hectare Policy, the loans disbursed to farmers and a vast array of roads for easy ferrying of agric produces from the various farmsteads to the capital for export purposes since the airport which has opened international routes are functional!
It might interest you to know that the state hosts various federal government schools -Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Federal Polytechnic, Federal College of Agriculture, Federal College of Education, Federal Government Vocational College, Federal Government College, and Federal Government Girls College.

This explains why the state is associated with scholarships and its presence has attracted people from various ethnicities to the state. Of course, you know the implication of this!

The newly completed Ebonyi Shopping Mall has Asian tigers -Indian and Chinese investors taking over some sections of the Mall for various multi-purpose -some manufacturing -domestic and industrial wars- others warehouse.

The state government has not reneged on the promises of revamping the agricultural subsector with its value chains for food security -the state currently ranks the first in food security -Abakaliki rice, now the most sought after recipe.

With Ebonyi State as the fastest-growing state with limitless opportunities for investments, would you rather choose Ebonyi State as your investment destination?

lol, nothing is happening in both states?
Osun has 5 sub power stations, all villages, town and cities are enjoying minimum of 20hrs light per day. (As at when I left there)

Enboyi doesn't have that.
because media isn't posting / reporting them or so, doesn't mean nothing is working there

Sammy07:

see this one talking trash about Osun State.

because Aregbesola rendered the State bankrupt doesn't mean you should talk trash about the state.

Osun has 3 other cities (apart from Osogbo) that would beat that poor Abakaliki.

After Ogun state, Osun has the second highest number of Institutions.

Aregbe wasn't smart, But still you can't take 2 things away from Osun..

1 Good Roads.

2 electricity

arguably has the best road and electricity in Nigeria.

Thrash!! osun state is huge debt.. it can do much now..the state should just be auctioned off on olx

Barbilius:
Additionally, Ebonyi people na dem dey osun dey sell gala and lacasera for travel, while an Osun indigines can't even deign to travel 100s of kilometers to Ebonyi just to go sell gala in traffic

Currently, The Ooni of Ife grandmother is dead, I'm sure it's not on Nairaland.

He distributed agricultural plants and seedlings to farmers, it wasn't reported here on Nairaland.

currently the south west governors are investing in agriculture.

Akeredolu --- Distributed tractor, seeds, and some lands to farmers.

Oyetola -- Distributed seeds and some chemicals to farmers

Fayemi --- Apart from the milk factory or so, he initiated some agricultural reforms by investing heavily in agriculture (He also signed an MOU)

Oyo governor also, Is investing in agriculture (the media reported this)

Ogun governor is also involving in Rice and mechanized agriculture

Lagos has already partner with One northern state like that, and they're investing in rice production.

ikpuchinonye1994:
Thrash!! osun state is huge debt.. it can do much now..the state should just be auctioned off on olx

The huge debts you see gave Osun state good standard roads and good electricity.

I put it to you that not all Enboyi villages / town enjoy good light.

Trash there's nothing like foreign investment. All those expatriates that come here to invest are from well economically performing countries. Why don't invest in their countries? It because they've seen a chance to exploit especially when our corrupt leaders will equally have a share of the stolen cake.



Nigerians wake up and change that word from foreign investors to foreign exploiters.

We are the ones to invest in ourselves

ikpuchinonye1994:

Debt, And So?

Which State doesn't have debt?

Some people will just come online to talk shit after Hawking gala in the hot Sun.

Sammy07:

just few few roads while the rest ended up in tinubu's pocket

Dave umahi is already making sure that all the villages and towns in ebonyi will have good electricity supply..

Barbilius:
Additionally, Ebonyi people na dem dey osun dey sell gala and lacasera for travel, while an Osun indigines can't even deign to travel 100s of kilometers to Ebonyi just to go sell gala in traffic

osun indigenes rather mine skulls and harvest human organs rather to engage in any useful business.. most of osun indigenes I know here in Lagos have refused going back to osun due to high ritual killings going on there.

ikpuchinonye1994:

just few few roads while the rest ended up in tinubu's pocket

Dave umahi is already making sure that all the villages and towns in ebonyi will have good electricity supply..

You don't know what you're saying.
Had it been you're in South west, I for give you some assignments to do.

Go to Osun state and check their roads.
stay there for a week, if you won't enjoy good light.

You don't have factories and company as it is in Osun state.
so what are you saying?

go and see the steel in ikirun As big as ajaokuta.
I can only commend Enboyi on her rice.

LukasPodolski:

Debt, And So?

Which State doesn't have debt?

Some people will just come online to talk shit after Hawking gala in the hot Sun.

the issue here is that osun borrowed and embezzled it without doing anything about.. All the state workers were owned for many years that people started donating food to osun state workers.. ritual killings was high and even robberies was on it peak..

the money they borrowed ended up in tinubu's pocket

Ebonyi is still the worst state in Southern NIGERIA in all indeces of development.

I don't think meagre or petty investments like this should be a big deal? Some states already have things like since the 1980s.

The governor should rather invest in Education, poverty alleviation schemes instead of building unproductive airport.

This will reduce the number of gala hawkers on the street and also reduce intimidation from fellow Igbos; I hear ebonyians are regarded as fake Igbos.

Barbilius:
Additionally, Ebonyi people na dem dey osun dey sell gala and lacasera for travel, while an Osun indigines can't even deign to travel 100s of kilometers to Ebonyi just to go sell gala in traffic

Keep shut u this man...do you know how many osun indigenes, females for that matter hawking Agbo or what ever liver killing concoction you Afonjaaaas drink., Females for that matter, from every inch u move u will see them hawking it....
Someone hawking gala and minerals is of course making his money and keeping people happy and not killing people's liver with the stupid Agbo

ikpuchinonye1994:
yae that they created almost sane time with osun and ekiti state but ebonyi state has left them behind

behind? as in the state that was declared not viable because it is headquarter of poverty, is this another definition of "left behind" by tribe of criminals scammers and swindlers?
