Gombe tops states with ease of doing business, South-West rated poorly

The Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) has named the state with the friendliest environment for business in Nigeria.

PEBEC was created by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2016 to remove bureaucratic constraints to doing business in Nigeria and make the country a progressively easier place to start and grow a business.

The council releases a Subnational Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) statement annually in March to help investors discover the states that offer a better business friendly and secure environment, infrastructure, skills and labour, as well as economic opportunity.
