The Governor Sheriff Oborevwori-led administration through the Special Adviser on Investement, Chief (Dr.) Tony Amechi, paid a courtesy visit to the Ambassador of Ireland, Peter Ryan, at the Irish Embassy in Abuja with the aim of strengthening investment ties and building a favourable business climate that will bolster inherent opportunities and unlock the potentials of the state and the nation of Ireland in a superlative relationship.
Amechi told the Ambassador that the oil-rich Delta State is an evolving business haven and that is the thrust of the current administration to ensure that the state is opened up more than ever for direct foreign investment.
According to him, Delta is available to play host to multi national investors, stressing that the security of their businesses is assured as measures have been put in place by the current administration to ensure that Irish investors storm the state in their droves.
In addition to oil and gas resources, Amechi noted that Agriculture, ICT, Tourism, Solid Minerals and the Housing sector are still virgin lands that are readily available for core investors to harvest, adding that the state is ready to partner with Ireland in any area of interest.
“The government and the people of Delta State are hospitable in nature and are ready to play host to investors from your country and the government of Delta State places so much premium in your investors because they are shrewd and honest in all they do. Therefore, the desire for partnership between our state, your government and entire people of Ireland,” he said.
Ambassador Peter however promised to build on the established relationship between Ireland and Delta, stressing that Irish businessmen will visit the state soon.
