Benguela Business Leaders Urged to Grasp Opportunities in Lobito Corridor and Refinery

Governor Luís Nunes of Benguela province rallied local entrepreneurs to seize the potential presented by the Corridor and Refinery in Lobito.

Speaking at the inauguration of Aliança Empresarial’s new headquarters, Nunes emphasized the critical role of unity among business leaders.

With Aliança Empresarial expanding its membership by four, including notable organizations like the Angola Industrial Association (AIA) and the League of Businessmen and Executives of Angola – PRESTIGIO, the province aims to harness collective expertise for socioeconomic advancement.

Nunes urged entrepreneurs to capitalize on government initiatives and available prospects, particularly the operational Lobito Corridor and the forthcoming Refinery. Proactive engagement, he stressed, is essential for maximizing the benefits of ongoing projects.

Adérito Areias, president of the Benguela Business Alliance (AEB), lauded the provincial government’s efforts in fostering an enabling business environment. He underscored the pivotal role of collaboration in resolving challenges and driving economic growth.

The new headquarters symbolizes a central hub for Benguela’s business community, offering support and resources to entrepreneurs. Areias affirmed the collective commitment to propelling economic prosperity through mutual cooperation and shared vision.
