Chamberlain Peterside, Director-General, Rivers State Investment Promotion Agency, hosts of the PEBEC
Rivers State has been described as the best investment location in Nigeria, by air, sea, land and blue economy.
The state has also been advised to emulate states such as Kaduna State (that worked out a way to relate with Olam) and Ogun State (that has a free trade zone to boost its economy), as well as other investment destinations such as Dublin and Dubai.
These were the major fallouts at the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) held for the south-south in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, last weekend. The event was ‘Nationwide Subnational Engagement and Technical Reform Workshop 2026’ which was held at the Hotel Presidential in the Garden City.
In one of the strategic presentations, Oluwaseun Obafemi, head, high impact investment work-stream, spoke on ‘Building an Investment System That Works’.
