Enugu State Government and the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council (CWEIC), yesterday, signed a strategic partnership agreement that would accelerate trade and investment inflow to the state.
  
This was even as Governor Peter Mbah was named a co-chair of the Governor’s Roundtable at the 2025 edition of the Commonwealth Trade and Investment Summit in London in April of next year.
   
CWEIC is a commercial, not-for-profit membership organisation, which has the official mandate from the commonwealth heads of government to facilitate trade and investment throughout the 56 commonwealth member nations, using its convening power and trusted network of the commonwealth.
   
Speaking during the partnership signing ceremony at the Government House, Enugu, the leader of the delegation and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of CWEIC, Mrs. Rosie Glazebrook, expressed the organisation’s eagerness to support the investment drive of the Mbah administration.
  
She said: “We are delighted to sign the strategic partnership with the governor. We work primarily with the private sector”.

Our organisation is there to drive trade and investment. We do this with very excellent convening power. We will bring this to bear in our partnership with Enugu State. 
  
“Our organisation is there to support and collaborate to showcase anything that Enugu is ready to offer in investment and trade. Our organisation aims to look out for how we can bring down trade barriers and encourage investment.
  
“Our strategic partnership with the Government of Enugu State is important to us, and we are there to be extremely active and make sure that we use all of our network and our convening power to the benefit of the state.”
