SUMMARY

Finally, let me submit that, it is the policy of this administration to promote the use of our
local raw materials through equity participation, commercialization, transferring of technology
with the necessary incentives available from Government to prospective investors. The state government has embarked on the drive to attract local and foreign investors through the
Economic Team which Governor Osunbor recently remarked was already yielding dividends.
The Governor disclosed that investors from Nigeria and abroad now besiege his office in
search of one thing or the other they want to do. We look forward to having you in Edo
State to invest.
