Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, on Thursday called on Brazilian entrepreneurs to take advantage of the vast investment prospects in Delta, stressing that the state is strategically positioned as a hub for trade, agriculture, energy, and industry in Nigeria and the West African sub-region. He made the appeal while addressing participants at the *Delta State Business and Investment Roundtable* in São Paulo, where he showcased the state’s abundant natural resources, prime location, and ongoing economic reforms designed to foster a welcoming climate for investors. Highlighting the historical and cultural similarities between Nigeria and Brazil, Oborevwori pointed to shared strengths such as agriculture, large populations, tropical climates, cultural diversity, and a passion for football. He said the event was an opportunity to deepen bilateral ties and establish strategic partnerships that would drive sustainable economic growth for both nations. Tracing Delta’s progress since its creation in 1991, the Governor noted that the state now ranks among Nigeria’s top five economies, with a landmass exceeding 18,000 square kilometres and a population of more than six million. According to him, *"Delta is blessed with vast natural resources and youthful human capital, making it an attractive destination for investors.* *Delta is Nigeria’s leading producer of crude oil and holds the largest natural gas reserves in the country, with two major export terminals in Escravos and Forcados."* He further underscored the state’s maritime advantage with its extensive coastline, four existing seaports, and the ongoing concession of Burutu Seaport, which he said has the potential to evolve into a major trans-shipment hub for West and South-West Africa. Oborevwori also emphasized Delta’s agricultural wealth, with fertile lands supporting cassava, palm produce, rice, maize, aquaculture, and livestock, alongside deposits of kaolin, silica, coal, lignite, and iron ore that can be commercially harnessed. On infrastructure, he noted that Delta’s road networks, three operational airports, and central location provide vital connections to commercial centres such as Lagos, Onitsha, and Aba. Since assuming office in May 2023, the Governor said his administration has prioritised improving the ease of doing business through tax harmonisation, the creation of economic free trade zones in Koko and Kwale, and the passage of business-friendly legislation. He added that in 2024, the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources recognised Delta as the safest state in Nigeria for oil and gas investment. He revealed that the state is pushing its agro-industrialisation agenda with a 180-hectare Agro-Industrial Park designed to accommodate 20–30 processing plants, alongside new public-private partnership initiatives in housing, energy, and manufacturing. Delta, he explained, has also embraced a decentralized mini-grid system to expand sustainable energy access and power industrialisation. The Governor expressed a keen desire to learn from Brazil’s globally acclaimed ranching system, noting Delta’s readiness to replicate aspects of it to boost livestock production. “I eagerly look forward to partnering with the business community of Brazil for our mutual benefit,” Oborevwori concluded.
