LAGOS, NIGERIA (NPA) — March 23, 2026 — The Governor of Enugu State, Dr Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, has unveiled the state’s vast and profitable investment opportunities to investors in the United Kingdom.

Highlighting sectors such as energy, infrastructure, healthcare, agriculture, technology, education, housing, and tourism, Mbah emphasised that “Enugu is open for business” under his administration’s “Tomorrow is Here” agenda. He noted that the state is building a private sector-driven economy anchored on ease of doing business, infrastructure expansion, and strong institutional frameworks that protect investments.

Speaking at the UK–Nigeria Project Agglomeration Compact Dinner held at the House of Lords, London, on the sidelines of President Tinubu’s state visit, Mbah described the engagement as a platform to present Enugu as a credible investment destination. The session was convened by Mutandis Africa.

“We highlighted our ongoing reforms and a strong pipeline of bankable opportunities across key sectors,” Mbah said, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to sustainable growth.

Since assuming office, Governor Mbah has pursued ambitious projects, including the Enugu Air project, smart schools, innovation hubs, and infrastructure expansion. In February 2025, he commissioned a $20 million Haier Group factory in Enugu, underscoring his drive for industrialisation.

Mbah’s broader vision is to transform Enugu into a leading hub for business, tourism, and quality living, with a target of raising the state’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from $4.4 billion to at least $30 billion within 4 to 8 years.
