Okechukwu Enelamah

As Nigeria’s Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment (MITI), Mr. Enelamah oversees policy-making and implementation relating to industrialisation of the economy, development of small and medium–scale enterprises (SMEs), promotion of exports and foreign direct investment, and the expansion of trade. The overall objective of the ministry is to ensure that policies and actions lead to inclusive growth, wealth and job creation, poverty reduction and ensure enhanced service delivery in a manner that will stimulate the growth of the domestic economy for self-reliance and export.

His vision is to work in partnership with all the relevant stakeholders – government, private sector, agencies; to boost Nigeria’s investment attractiveness. This will entail improving the ease of doing business, attracting foreign direct investment, growing the contribution of non–oil economy to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and creating jobs.
