The Edo State Investment Summit (Alaghodaro) is an initiative of the Edo State Government aimed at promoting innovation and boosting economic productivity in the state through collaboration with the private sector.
It is in line with the vision of the Godwin Obaseki-led administration to build “a modern and progressive Edo state where every citizen is empowered with opportunity to live life in its fullness.”
This maiden edition themed “Envisioning the Future” will bring together top Nigerian and International business leaders, investors, bankers, industry experts, policymakers and the academia to set the agenda for development.
It will showcase how Edo State intends to partner with the private sector to leverage the state’s competitive advantage in different sectors for sustainable economic growth.
Key areas of focus include Institutional Reform, Economic Development, Social Welfare, Environmental Sustainability, and Art, Culture & Tourism.
The 3-day summit is designed to foster knowledge sharing, build relationships, spark innovation and inspire commitment to strategic deployment of capital for greater socio-economic and environmental impact.
Alaghodaro 2017 coincides with the first year anniversary celebration of Governor Godwin Obaseki, and it is scheduled to hold from November 10 – 12 at Edo Hotels, Okada Avenue, Benin City.
We look forward to welcoming you to Edo – The Heartbeat of the Nation.
It is a period of great change and it will, of course, have its challenges.
