Wife of Anambra State Governor, Chief (Mrs.) Ebelechukwu Obiano, has urged potential investors, especially wealthy Anambra indigenes to emulate the example of the proprietor of Awka Wonderland and Ausco Farms Limited, Chief Austin Ndigwe and bring home investments to the state to help create employment and grow the state economy.

Mrs. Obiano made the plea while on inspection of facilities at Awka Wonderland Amusement Park and Resort in the state capital, Awka.

Mrs. Obiano observed that the administration of her husband and the accommodating nature of the Ndi Anambra have made the state a preferred investment destination.

According to her, “Our state Anambra is now safe for everyone thanks to the governor who has promoted security and put in place attractive policies to encourage investment. I expect that our wealthy sons and daughters will now contribute their quota and wealth of experience into the socio-economic development of the state. Awka Wonderland is a very good initiative which should be emulated.”

Mrs. Obiano, who described Ndi Anambra as very industrious and progressive people, emphasised that Governor Obiano administration had laid the ground work and built the necessary infrastructure for businesses to thrive.

She assured that government has provided enabling environment for businesses and industries to thrive in the state.

Mrs. Obiano further stated: “I am not just saying this because he is my husband but because I am also from Anambra and we are all witnesses to the transformation going on in the state, they are building institutions. My role is merely to support him and anyone ready to work in the interest of our state. Let us join hands with the government and collectively resolve to build our state. If we do not, nobody can do it for us.”

She thanked the proprietor of the facility for the good job and promised him that she will ensure the support of her pet project, Caring Family Enhancement Initiative (CAFÉ) through the use of the facilities, and also appeal for government continuous support for those like him who are willing and able to make the sacrifice.

In his remark, the proprietor of the centre Chief Austine Ndigwe thanked Governor Obiano for his investor-friendly policies and urged other companies to take advantage of the conducive environment existing in the state and locate their factories in the state.

He equally commended the wife of the governor for finding time to visit the facilities promising that they are ready to offer Ndi Anambra a new experience in leisure and hospitality.
