The government of Germany has expressed its eagerness to strengthen economic cooperation with Enugu State in various sectors, including agriculture, energy, trade, and investment. Enugu State has been chosen as one of the three business and investment destinations in southern Nigeria by the German government, citing the improved ease of doing business under the administration of Governor Peter Mbah. A delegation led by the German Consul General, Mr. Weert Börner, visited Governor Mbah to discuss potential collaborations. The delegation included representatives from the German business community and the German Corporation for International Cooperation, GIZ. Governor Mbah emphasized that his administration's target of achieving a $30 billion GDP is feasible through private sector investments and international cooperation. Enugu State offers significant opportunities in agriculture, energy, trade, and investment. The state has acquired 300,000 hectares of land to attract commercial farmers and is investing in road infrastructure to facilitate access to farmlands and the transportation of agricultural produce. Additionally, the state is working on completing the international wing of Akanu Ibiam International Airport and constructing a cargo terminal for exports. [c8672a86]
