He stressed that despite the challenges facing businesses and investments on the country due to inflation, high cost of procurement and production, Governor Mbah’s administration has been serving as an enabler for them to remain in business.

Speaking on the theme of the summit, “Inflation, Production, and Weak Currency: Prospects and Challenges”, Nwodo explained that all hope is not lost if the federal government would start rolling out incentives for local industries to produce and export their products.

The business magnate further stated that subnationals such as state governments have a huge role to play in the economic recovery process by creating enabling environment through the right infrastructure for investment.

“This is how we can also create employment and empower people around us. In Enugu, we are glad with what someone like the governor who is also an entrepreneur and business-focused investor is doing to make the state a business hub,” he said.
