Alaghodaro Investment Summit, which is to mark the governor\u2019s first year anniversary, will galvanise the investing public to engage with Edo State as Nigeria\u2019s best-kept secret.<\/p>\n<p>The session at the summit is intended to engage with policymakers, development workers, state officials, private consultants, the NESG and EBES to fashion a new template for improving the state\u2019s business environment.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the investment opportunities the state will showcase include its huge potential natural resource deposit, agriculture, industry, human capital, infrastructure, <a href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/property-center-nigeria\/\">real estate<\/a>, transport, as well as the institutional reforms being undertaken to make the state investment friendly.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a hre=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2017\/11\/alaghodaro-ease-business-session-tackle-edos-investment-barriers\/\"> Vanguard <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Worried by the relative difficulty in starting and sustaining business enterprises in the state, the Edo &hellip; <a title=\"Alaghodaro: Ease of Doing Business session to tackle Edo\u2019s investment barriers\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/alaghodaro-ease-of-doing-business-session-to-tackle-edos-investment-barriers\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Alaghodaro: Ease of Doing Business session to tackle Edo\u2019s investment barriers<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6908,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[2890,1399,617,522,41,84,15307],"class_list":["post-6907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities-in-new-markets","tag-construction","tag-development","tag-house","tag-nigeria","tag-property","tag-real-estate","tag-ulta"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Alaghodaro-Summit.jpg?fit=301%2C324&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7011,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/edo-to-explore-new-investments-to-boost-infrastructure\/","url_meta":{"origin":6907,"position":0},"title":"Edo to explore new investments to boost infrastructure","author":"Amazing Property","date":"November 8, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"The Edo State Government at the maiden Alaghodaro Investment Summit, will be explore new investment frontiers to boost investment in real estate, public utilities, healthcare and tourism.Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State This was revealed yesterday in a statement by organisers of the investment summit, in Benin City, as preparations\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Opportunities In New Markets&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Opportunities In New Markets","link":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/category\/opportunities-in-new-markets\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vanguardngr.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/lazy-load\/images\/1x1.trans.gif?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":6699,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/obaseki-salutes-oba-ewuare-ii-lauds-inspiring-partnership-with-govt\/","url_meta":{"origin":6907,"position":1},"title":"Obaseki salutes Oba Ewuare II, lauds inspiring partnership with Govt","author":"Amazing Property","date":"October 21, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"(From left) Former Governor of old Bendel State, Lt.
