Chairman, Business development

The MGF Economic Development and Finance Council is primarily a policy formulation body that will identify
 

• Economic opportunities in any project and how to practically harness them.
• Areas of focus that will best utilize existing talent in Mbaise and result in incremental job creation.
• Quick win’ activities that will create jobs and job opportunities in the short term.

 
The council will also designs unique methodologies for funding projects, lead the fundraising effort, and closely monitor each project through budgeting and making sure that funds are applied appropriately.

​THE PHILOSOPHY, STRATEGY AND OPERATIONAL APPROACH

​ The goal of MGF is to build from Platforms to Ecosystems not products and services.

​ All companies developed by MGF must be domiciled in Mbaise and when such companies expand their operations beyond Mbaise, they shall maintain their headquarters in Mbaise.

​ Sustainability is the primary driver for the funding and execution strategy we have adopted. We do not see hope in the political space to drive the elevation of human capital as China is able to use government resources to pull village after village out of poverty. In the absence of our common wealth uplifting our people, we are compelled to depend predominantly on private ingenuity coupled with whatever the government can do, to achieve our objective.

 The MGF goal “to be a first world community in a third world country”
​aligns with the SGD Nigeria has signed into such that we are also completely aligned with global expectations. This allows us to pursue a surefooted strategy of national and global relationships to achieve our goal.
