NdokwaForward, a foremost political pressure group in Ndokwa Land, has commended His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor of Delta State, for the successful hosting of the Delta Economic Summit, describing it as a timely, strategic, and forward-looking initiative capable of repositioning the State for sustainable economic growth and development.
In a statement jointly signed and released by Rt. Hon. Samuel Osasa, Esq., Omordi George Ugbomah, PhD, and Chief Isaac Onyesom, the group described the Summit as one of the most significant economic engagements ever convened by the Delta State Government, particularly at a time when subnational governments across Nigeria are striving to become more economically viable and less dependent on federal allocations.
The group stated that the Summit demonstrated Governor Oborevwori’s commitment to strategic planning and sustainable economic development, noting that assembling an array of distinguished economists, policy experts, development partners, investors, captains of industry, academics, and other accomplished minds from within Nigeria and across the world to deliberate on the present and future of Delta State’s economy was both visionary and commendable.
According to the statement, the quality of discussions, exchange of ideas, and policy engagements at the Summit have the potential to unlock new investment opportunities, accelerate industrialisation, promote innovation, stimulate job creation, and strengthen Delta State’s position as one of Nigeria’s leading investment destinations.
NdokwaForward further observed that beyond addressing current economic realities, the Summit laid a solid foundation for long-term economic transformation by fostering collaboration between government, the private sector, development institutions, and other critical stakeholders.
The group therefore applauded Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for his foresight, courage, and unwavering commitment to the economic advancement of Delta State, expressing confidence that the effective implementation of the Summit’s recommendations would further accelerate the socio-economic development of the State and improve the standard of living of its people.
NdokwaForward also encouraged the State Government to institutionalise the Delta Economic Summit as a periodic platform for policy dialogue, investment promotion, and economic evaluation to ensure that Delta State remains competitive in the rapidly evolving national and World economy.
