The Governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo has called on investors, both local and foreign, to make Edo state their choice destination, citing his administration’s policies and reforms as a guarantee for their return on investments.

Senator Monday Okpebholo is making a strong case for investment in the state, rolling out his achievements within just ten months in office.

The governor, who was speaking during an invest summit in Scotland, seized the opportunity to woo foreign and local investors while assuring them that Edo is now safe and ready for business.

Governor Okpebholo praised President Bola Tinubu for what he described as purposeful leadership, noting that the President’s policies have created a supportive environment for states like Edo to thrive.

Reeling out his achievements, the governor highlighted reforms in agriculture, infrastructure, and security, pointing out that his administration is committed to building a business-friendly environment that guarantees returns on investment.

He did criticize the immediate past administration, accusing former Governor Godwin Obaseki of wasting eight years without meaningful development in the state, stressing that the state is though recuperating from such a long period of economic idleness.

Okpebholo assured investors that the narrative has changed, stressing that Edo is now a safe haven for business and development partnerships.

With this bold pitch, the Edo Governor is setting his sights on foreign capital inflows to accelerate growth back home while promising a new era of transparency and progress for the people of the state.
