Edo State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Hon. Paul Ohonbamu, has assured that Governor Monday Okpebholo’s investment drive abroad will translate into improved economic opportunities, job creation, and infrastructure development for the state.
In a statement issued in Benin City, the Commissioner highlighted the far-reaching benefits expected from the Edo State Global Investment Summit 2025 held in Scotland, themed “Catalytic Partnership: Global Funding and Local Impact.”
He explained that the governor’s strategy is designed to attract direct foreign investments that will create jobs, stimulate revenue, and improve infrastructure such as roads, power, and transportation, thereby providing a more conducive environment for businesses.
“The governor is very passionate about developing the agricultural sector, creating opportunities for farmers and agro-processors, while also leveraging Edo’s natural resources to attract investments,” Ohonbamu said.
He further emphasized that the state government is strengthening security measures to reassure investors, dismissing opposition claims of insecurity as exaggerated.
The Commissioner added that the governor’s approach prioritizes long-term partnerships and direct capital investment to diversify Edo’s economy and reduce dependence on debt financing models.
It would be recalled that during his engagement with Edo indigenes in the diaspora, Governor Okpebholo outlined his vision anchored on innovation, transparency, and practical governance, while reaffirming commitment to working with Edo people abroad for meaningful growth.
