UK State Visit: Governor Peter Mbah Engages Investors

Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah of Enugu State seized the moment to market his state as a prime investment destination during President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s state visit to the United Kingdom.

The Enugu governor addressed a select gathering of international investors at the UK-Nigeria Project Agglomeration Compact Dinner held at the House of Lords in London. Mutandis Africa convened the high-profile session on the sidelines of the presidential visit.

Mbah presented Enugu’s ongoing reforms and a robust pipeline of bankable projects across energy, infrastructure, healthcare, agriculture, technology, education, housing, and tourism. He stressed that the state is building a private sector-led economy supported by improved ease of doing business, massive infrastructure push, and strong institutions that safeguard investor interests.

NaijaChoice News reports that the governor’s pitch received positive feedback, with several investors signalling strong interest in exploring opportunities in Enugu.

The engagement forms part of broader efforts to attract foreign direct investment into Nigeria as President Tinubu pushes economic reforms aimed at unlocking growth and creating jobs. Mbah made it clear that Enugu is ready and open for serious business.

Analysts say the governor’s London outing further cements Enugu’s rising profile as one of Nigeria’s most investor-friendly states. With its focus on transparency and private sector partnership, the state is positioning itself to play a bigger role in the country’s economic renaissance.

Tomorrow, as Governor Mbah often says, is already here for Enugu.
