Some politicians don't deserve to be called governors. They just came to loot the resources of the country because the institutions are weak....no checks and balances. Wetin concern looters concern foreign investment?

Politics of tribe and corrupt “emi lo kan” will not allow Nigeria attract foreign investments despite having the potential

Even the $200 million investors that came through, they destroyed to build coastal highway, something no other country will do to its own.

How will foreign investors be interested?

There are hundreds of SMEs these state governments can offer loans or grants to boost the economy of the state and country at large but they prefer to seek foreign investments that aren’t forthcoming.

Invest in your SMEs and agriculture. That’s what those countries you run to find investors do.

You can’t create enabling environment for the indigenous businesses in your country, yet you seek foreign investors.

This is Nigeria 💔

Edo no be Lagos

A lot of governors don't actually care about the development of their own state. They're just there to loot as much money as possible.

Most states in Nigeria, once you leave the capital more than 65% of the remaining local governments are under developed. Bad roads, no electricity, zero presence of banks and other businesses...etc.

Would you expect a foreigner to invest in such a place?

State government must come together and partner on how to fight electricity problems, and insecurity .
State government must give priority to road construction.

Very useless states with useless governors.

Cross River pains me the most, my favorite place Calabar was destroyed by that useless ba$tard Ayade

FAAC dependent states

Fake news. Remove Edo State.

Ok

Thank God say my state is not among.

Many of our Governors are not worth Local government counselor in a saner clime

j

Anambra try

Others attracted mostly foreign portfolio investment. So nothing special. We no get light, good roads, purchasing power is falling yet we dey find foreigners that will build factories in Niger. The only foreign investors Nigeria will get are investors in bond, tb and stocks. Those ones no need 24hrs light

It is not easy to attract foreign investors. Even Nigeria as a country is currently struggling to attract foreign investors.

Meanwhile during said period, Edo state attracted several national investment in the petroleum, housing and power sector.

Bornu......who want to put his hard earn money in war zone
Edo should not be on that list

How can u attract investors in a shaky shaky dying economy

Nigeria is a failed state

I am not shocked most of this guys are dead of ideas, Borno can be excused based on the violence in the area and he has tried opening up the place. Nassarawa that is close to Abuja is extreme dead.

I know Anambra won't be there.


God bless Mazi Peter obi!

Bayelsa and Edo are the most useless states in the south..... especially Bayelsa , no any tangible development

Obaseki with all the MOU nothing to show for it.

MOU governor, no wonder Edo reject you and your godson.

Everything Negative is always from the North. It is always dominated by the North

A very backward region

They've already told you.
Boko Haram means, Western Education is evil.
-
So how can you expect any western/foreign involvement there when they completely hate western ideologies?
Same with Imo and the other eastern states.

No SW state on the failure list.

Imagine the thousands of businesses that will spring up along that 700km coastal highway.

Heck, Tinapa would start booming again.

People can drive to Akwa Ibom to watch Nigeria play football and stop over at a coastal town in Delta or Bayelsa along the coastal highway to have fish and seafood peppersoup.

Business would boom for every town in different states along that highway. But you are so shortsighted that all you are looking at is 1 umbrella business (really worth less than 1million dollars) on about 50metres of the 70,000metres corridor.

When everybody sits and waits for Allocation from abuja , very few are motivated to think outside the box to find ways to improve the finances of their states

The only attracted Brief -Case investment

Edo and Baylesa is shocking. Edo not so shocking if you consider the antecedents of the governor
