As preparations intensify for the third edition of the Alaghodaro Summit in Edo State, leading firms in Nigeria, including Shell Nigeria, the Dangote Group, Nosak Group, and KPMG among others, will lead local and international businesses to this year's summit.


The 2019 Alaghodaro Summit is organised to mark the state Governor, Godwin Obaseki's third year anniversary, and would host crème de la crème of Nigeria's business community in recognition of the ease of doing business reforms initiated by the Obaseki-led administration in Edo State.


In a statement by the Special Adviser to the state governor on Media and Communication Strategy, Mr. Crusoe Osagie, he said the state government's business-friendly posture has earned it investors in the burgeoning private sector space, which has made the state a darling for investments in agriculture, power, oil and gas and many others.


He said: "In the last three years, we have witnessed an incursion of businesses into the state to take advantage of the reforms being implemented by the Obaseki-led government. One of the iconic things we have done for the business community is to ensure that we respect the sanctity of contracts and also make doing business in the state seamless."

He said some of the prominent guests at this year's Alaghodaro are the Managing Director of Shell Nigeria, Mr. Osagie Okunbor; Executive Director, Dangote Group, Halima Dangote; Chairman, Nosak Group, Dr. Toni Ogunbor; Toni Adepoju of KPMG Nigeria among many others.


He noted that: "The state government has invested in infrastructure to ensure that businesses thrive in the state. We have made air transport easier through collaboration with federal government agencies.  For instance, for the first time in a long while, aero planes can now fly into Benin-city at night and in hazy weather, which was made possible by the state government's investment in upgrading the Benin-city Airport for such operations. This gives people coming into the state multiple options, even as the number of airlines operating in the state has also increased."
