Ninewa Working to Entice Investors

Ninewa is actively seeking to entice foreign investors to the province, according to Ninewa's Governor, Atheel al-Nejeifi, said on Friday.

“The province has tabled proposals to the local council to set up investment firms in numerous fields, including an airlines company,” Nejeifi told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

The Ninewa Investment Commission had said in August 2010 that it granted 27 licenses to local investors worth more than $1 billion in the sectors of agriculture, industry, tourism, health and education.
