Executive Secretary, Alaghodaro Company Limited by Guarantee (GTE) and Permanent Secretary, Edo State Ministry of Social Development and Humanitarian Affairs, Mrs. Ifueko Alufohai, has said this year’s Alaghodaro Investment Summit will showcase to the world creativity and productivity of entrepreneurs and businesses in the state by displaying, marketing and selling made-in-Edo products.

Alufohai, according to a statement by Crusoe Osagie, media aide to the state governor, disclosed this while addressing journalists on the state’s preparedness for the Alaghodaro 2022, scheduled to take place in Benin between November 11 and November 13.

The 2022 edition of the summit has the theme: “Edo’s transformation: partnerships, resilience, impact,” and it is expected to rally private investors and captains of industry towards bolstering the government’s efforts at making the state the most investment-friendly sub-national in Nigeria.

Alufohai said: “This is a show of confidence in Governor Godwin Obaseki’s economic transformation of Edo State as more businesses have continued to jostle for spaces for exhibition at the forthcoming Alaghodaro 2022.

It further attests to the fact that the summit over the past six years greatly impacted on businesses and the general business environment which needs to be sustained.”
