Managing Director, Edo State Investment Promotion Office (ESIPO), Kelvin Uwaibi on Tuesday said Edo state is the first state in Nigeria with the setting up of the first Business Information Portal to enable ease of doing business in the state.
Uwaibi disclosed this during a courtesy visit to the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Edo State Council in Benin.
He said the setting up of Nigeria’s first Business Information Portal is an innovative digital platform that enables businesses to access support services, enhance visibility through a business directory, and communicate directly with government offices on critical issues.
Uwaibi said that the Edo State Business Information Portal, a first of its kind Innovation
is supported by GIZ.
He added that the Obaseki-led government has repositioned the state workforce by centralizing Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) as well as streamlining interactions.
Uwaibi said that by relocating all MDAs, especially those directly involved in business interactions, the government aims to significantly reduce the stress and inconvenience that businesses previously faced when dealing with scattered government agencies.
According to him, Centralization fosters better communication and collaboration among MDAs, leading to more efficient and coordinated service delivery.
He added that the centralization of MDAs will improve accessibility, enhance coordination, and promote transparency.
“In addition to the One-Stop-Shop, the Edo State Government is actively working to centralize MDAs within a single location. The Renovation of Blocks A, B, and D, as well as the construction of Block C and Treasury House, within the same Secretariat are key components of this effort.
“Businesses can more easily access government services and officials, reducing the time, cost and effort required for interactions.
“By bringing MDAs together, the government can enhance transparency and accountability, building trust and confidence among businesses. “Uwaibi said.
