The Managing Director of Hymac Real Limited, Okey Ayogu, has commended the Enugu State governor, Dr. Peter Mbah, for creating an enabling investment climate in the state.
Ayogu gave the commendation after an Enugu State High Court sitting in Enugu resolved a protracted litigation over a parcel of land, Plot P/23C, Independence Layout, Enugu, measuring over 6000 square meters in the state capital in the company’s favour.
The court, presided over by Justice C. O. Ajah, in a Suit No. E/658/2021 in the matter between Hymac Real Limited and NSE Enugu State branch, NULGE Enugu State Branch and Barr. Okey Ezugwu, declared that Hymac Real Limited was validly granted Plot P/23C, Independence Layout Enugu by the state government and went ahead to award N5 million cost in favour of the company.
Speaking with newsmen after the court session, Ayogu expressed gratitude to the judiciary, describing the courts as truly the last hope of the common man.
While attributing the judgement to Governor Peter Mbah’s administration’s commitment to ensuring that Enugu remains an investment haven, he said the judgement had boosted his confidence to do business in Enugu without losing the property to fear land racketeers.
He said, “My special thanks go to the governor of Enugu State, who has decided to ensure that Enugu would be a favourable destination for investors without a godfather. I say this because my case was that of an investor who decided to come back home to invest. But the powers that be at home insisted it could not happen because I’m not a known person. And the governor insisted that the government and those in government must not throw their weight around to stop people from doing legitimate businesses in the state.
“It is that unbiased and impartial justice-seeking mood of the government that gave the judge the liberty to do the right thing.
“For over three years, the judiciary was being muscled against doing the right thing in this matter.
“Governor Mbah has demonstrated that he’s an investment-driven and investment-friendly governor, and I can rightly say that Enugu State should be the destination of every investor in Nigeria.”
