She remarked, "This help desk embodies our shared commitment to advance ease of doing business, improve access to regulatory support, and foster the continued growth and development of enterprises in the corridor. It brings services directly to business owners and strengthens inter-agency collaboration."
The launch of the help desk is expected to streamline operations for investors and corporations, reducing bureaucratic hurdles and promoting a more business-friendly environment in the area.
