Governor Abdulrazaq Initiates Measures to Enhance Business Environment
In the report by Business Day, Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State unveils a promising outlook for investment partnerships aimed at enhancing the local processing of solid minerals, signaling a significant opportunity for economic growth within the region.
Speaking in Ilorin during discussions with a delegation from ER-KANG Mining Nigeria Company Limited, led by Managing Director Sun Qing Rong, the governor reaffirmed the state's commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment conducive to attracting investments.
This declaration underscores Kwara's strategic position as a potential hub for solid minerals and mining activities, offering a promising prospect for both local and international investors.
A statement by Rafiu Ajakaye, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, said Abdulrazaq spoke in Ilorin when he received a delegation from the ER-KANG Mining Nigeria Company Limited led by Sun Qing Rong, the Managing Director.
Governor Abdulrazaq, who promised to provide the mining company and others with all the necessary support to thrive, said: “our Government is here to work with you to make sure you succeed in what you are doing. Your success will be our success.
“We will continue to promote a business friendly environment and make sure that our ease of doing business is next to none, such that Kwara becomes a destination and center for solid minerals and mining in Nigeria.
“Your investment shows the way to go in terms of solid minerals processing. As a policy which the federal government is also looking into, solid minerals should be processed before export. What you are doing shows that direction of processing the minerals before exporting or before further processing into other uses within Nigeria.
“You are located near our Industrial Park, which will soon become an export processing zone. If you are within that zone, all your mining equipment will have been imported duty-free into Nigeria.
“Your safety is always guaranteed. We look forward to good engagements between us and your company; we also want you to be an ambassador of Kwara in China, where other Chinese companies can come and invest in Kwara.”
Rong, on his part, said they chose Kwara State for their investment because of its peaceful nature, requesting the Government to assist them in getting necessary legal papers and documentation.
He explained that their company would create job opportunities by engaging the services of the locals and increasing the revenue of the State.
“Our company is investing in this state because it is a business friendly and peaceful one. It is a good business environment. We can make our market decisions here. We can set good examples and encourage more foreign companies, particularly Chinese companies to invest in Kwara State”, he said.
