Delta Set to Become Investors’ Haven, Says Governor Oborevwori, Presents Staff of Office to Asagba of Asaba
Delta State Governor, Rt Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to making the state an attractive destination for investors. Speaking during the presentation of staff of office to the Asagba of Asaba, Professor Epiphany Azinge, the governor emphasized the importance of ensuring that communities and urban centers are safe and secure for domestic and foreign investors.
Governor Oborevwori noted that Asaba has become a city of choice for many people, but warned that the exponential growth of the city also poses security threats. “I note with pleasure that Asaba has become the city of choice for many people who find it a safe place to raise their families,” he said. “However, some undesirable elements are exploiting the exponential growth of the city to infiltrate the city with their own sinister agenda.”
The governor charged the new Asagba and all traditional rulers in the state to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities or persons to the relevant authorities.
He also emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and security, saying, “One of the goals of this administration is to make Delta State the preferred investors’ destination.”
Governor Oborevwori described the new Asagba as a dynamic personality, thought leader, and consensus builder, expressing optimism that he would make the people of Asaba and the entire state proud.
He also underscored the importance of the traditional institution, saying, “Traditional rulers are not only custodians of our customary laws, norms, and traditions, they also play the role of intermediaries between the government and the people at the grassroots.”
The governor appealed to all indigenes of Asaba to give their maximum support and cooperation to the new Asagba, saying, “For him to succeed on the throne, he needs more of your support. The kingdom is yours to promote and protect.”
