The Commissioner emphasized that the government cannot be held responsible for the dynamic business decisions made by entrepreneurs.
“The capacity to sustain consistent and persistent performance of businesses is purely that of the entrepreneurs and their management decisions,” the commissioner stated.
The commissioner also pointed out that numerous entrepreneurs from Lagos, Abuja, and other locations have invested in Anambra State, opening new hotels, fuel stations, and industries that are thriving. This, according to the commissioner, is a testament to the state’s accelerating economic transformation agenda.
“Anambra State is experiencing urban infrastructure modernization and renewal like never before. The security situation is also steadily improving,” the commissioner added.
The commissioner’s response suggests that the state government is committed to creating an enabling environment for businesses to thrive, and that the ongoing transformation agenda is yielding positive results.
The debate sparked by Dr. Mbamalu’s article has brought attention to the challenges faced by entrepreneurs in Anambra State, and the government’s response provides insight into its efforts to address these issues.
