The Lion Business Park is coming on stream courtesy of the forward looking gentleman firing from all cylinders from the Lion Building, the seat of government in Enugu. The lives and economic empowerment of ndi Enugu are at the very heart of Mr. Fulfillment, the governor of Enugu state and as such the need to hinge development of the nation on the people. As the nation flaps its wings in readiness for the achievement of its Agenda 2063 and in concert with H.E. Paul Kagame’s quote, “the African people will own the processes and outcomes of our socio-economic transformation”. It will be the voices of Enugu citizens screaming for the Enugu state we want.
To actualize this agenda, there is need to reflect on the guiding vision of Agenda 2063 which is an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa. Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and firm believer in the African renaissance, firmly believe that we can grow Enugu state economies and finance development through intra-regional trade through the regional economic blocs and ultimately at the continental level.
With the recent opening of the LION BUSINESS PARK (FREE TRADE ZONE) a single market of about billion people has been created and this agreement holds a heavy promise for the state.
Lion business Park will stimulate intra-African trade by up to about $3 Billion per year, creating a 52% increase in trade by 2022 and about a vital $2 billion decrease in imports from outside Africa. Nigeria’s food and agriculture market will rise higher by 2030; household consumption will also rise, and business-to-business expenditure will hit trillions by 2025 which displays the investment potential that rests on with this novel Lion Business Park.
With the establishment of the Lion business Park, Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has created exponential intra-regional trade that will boost diversification of revenues and this will develop local economies. Lion Business park- focuses more on value addition of goods which departs from the previous trade of raw materials. I believe that Lion business park is key to Nigeria’s transformation as there will be infrastructural developments by nations to ease trade. Foreign investors will therefore be lured to a market of billion people easily, making transformation inevitable. It is time to invest in Enugu state and the time is now.
Ugwuanyi remains the gift of the nation and Enugu is in God’s hands.
