Economic blueprint fetches $4.2bn investment in Anambra

Anambra State Governor, Chief Willy Obiano, has said that the economic blueprint developed by his administration on assumption of office had started yielding dividends.

Obiano, who spoke yesterday in Abuja at an interactive session with the people of his state living in the North Central states, said the state was now socially stable and business-friendly, attracting both indigenes and others to seek wealth-creating opportunities.

He told them that the Anambra State Investment Agency (ANSIPPA), charged with the mandate of attracting and fast-tracking investments in the state, had so far attracted over $4.2bn deals to the state, mostly in the agricultural sector.

The latest investment, he said, was sealed Tuesday with Zolt Energy Limited to build a 40 megawatts Embedded Power Generating Plant in Ogbaru.

When completed, power generated from it will be distributed mainly in Anambra State, the governor said.
