Unveiling the poster, Enugu State Governor, Hon. Ifeanyi_Ugwuanyi commended the effort of Nigerian Breweries for kick starting the promotion, which is slated to take place in eight other centres across Nigeria.

The Governor who was represented by the state Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Barrister Sam Nwobodo said that the government was so honoured that the world largest poster was unveiled in Enugu State.

According to him, the unveiling has come at a right time when the Rockefeller Foundation has just announced Enugu as one of the most resilient cities in the world. He said that Enugu occupied 56 positions in the rating and it is the only city in Africa that shares the same space with cities like London and Chicago.

The governor however called on other corporate organisations to partner with the state government in its search to bring in more investors into the coal city. “The more the investors, the better for us and the Nigerian Breweries who has been on ground for many years,” he said.
