An Industrialist and the President of Ebonyi Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, Dr Ezeh Emmanuel Ezeh has urged Ebonyi state governor Francis Nwifuru to work closely with private sector groups in the State for more sustainable economic growth.
Ezeh an Oxford trained entrepreneur;
who stated this in an interview with journalists in Abakaliki said organized private sector has been at the forefront for the agitation for creating a sustainable living environment for the people.
He queried why the governor would go looking for investors in foreign lands when he has not encouraged the local businessmen and Entrepreneurship in the State
The CEO, Immaculate Group of Companies, who expressed his
willingness to work together with the government to advance the business operating environment in the State urged the governor to build local Entrepreneurs before looking outside the state
Ezeh said: " Some of us are available and willing to work together with the government of Ebonyi state to advance the business operating environment. Recently, one of my companies is in talks to bring in some serious investors to the state".
" I found it inchoate and limiting to go looking for investors in foreign lands when you have not encouraged your local businessmen and entrepreneurs".
Who were the entrepreneurs on the governor’s team? These foreigners are no fools, they know when we are serious and when we want paid photo ops". "Entrepreneurship development are grand governance issues, the government should work closely with its private sector groups after all, this is the time for the governance".
"The government is our government, unless we are not ready for real governance. During the campaigns, the governor promised to work with the opposition, a promise he is yet to fulfill. On my part, I had expected that given our collective struggles during the election, the first thing to do was not to kill opposition but embrace a government of state unity. We cannot all be in one party, it’s unnatural and undemocratic. Opposition is a major stake in every democracy".
"Look at government of Tinubu, the best performers are from the opposition members appointed into the cabinet, because they have no sense of entitlements. They either perform or get sacked". Ezeh stated.
