Ibrahim, who led a NACCIMA delegation on a visit to Governor Mbah, emphasized that security is the foundation of economic growth, aligning with NACCIMA's STEAMS agenda which prioritizes security. He expressed NACCIMA's support for Mbah's vision to boost Enugu State's economy from $4.4 billion to $30 billion by 2031, and proposed partnerships such as joint trade fairs, investment summits, improved land allocation, public-private partnerships for industrial parks, and stronger collaboration among the state government and chambers of commerce. Governor Mbah acknowledged NACCIMA's role as the \"voice of the Nigerian business community\" and emphasized that the state's economic strategy hinges on private capital, with government providing an enabling environment for investments. He highlighted the administration's commitment to growing the state's economy, citing infrastructure, education, healthcare, tourism, transportation, and security improvements, which have attracted private capital and reduced insecurity.",
