The Edo State Government has said that it was strengthening collaboration with the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) as part of efforts to improve the state’s investment climate, enhance regulatory efficiency and attract new investments.
The initiative is part of the state’s broader strategy to position Edo as a more competitive investment destination through reforms aimed at improving the ease of doing business and creating a more predictable environment for investors.
Speaking after the PEBEC Nationwide Town Hall and State Engagement Tour in Benin City, the Edo State Commissioner for Business, Trade and Investment, Omoh Anabor, said the engagement reinforced the state’s ongoing reform agenda and provided an opportunity to align with national initiatives designed to drive economic growth and investment expansion.
Anabor said the administration of Governor Monday Okpebholo remained committed to implementing policies that would remove business bottlenecks and create a more investor-friendly environment.
He noted that discussions during the engagement showed that several initiatives being promoted by PEBEC at the federal level already aligned with reforms introduced by Edo State in areas such as trade development, investment facilitation and digital commerce.
