The establishment of the Delta State One-Stop-Shop for Investors (DSOSSI) has been described as a major catalyst in the economic reformation of the state as well as practical revelation and demonstration of the state government’s unwavering business and investment-driven consciousness.
A senior official of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC), Mr. Alfred Okeke who stated this yesterday during an official visit to DSOSSI office in Asaba, to ascertain the level of preparedness and facilities at the office, remarked that setting up the DSOSSI office was another proof of the state government’s push at wooing Foreign Direct Investors/Investments to the oil-rich state.
Okeke, who is the Head of the South-East and South-South office of the commission, held that given the establishment of the DSOSSI which he described as apt and timely in the face of the present global economic dispensation, further attests that the Delta State Government is ready for business.
According to the NIPC boss, the attention of local and foreign investors would soon be targeted towards the state as they now have a formidable and reliable platform where they could access relevant information on the investment potentials and credibility in the state.
“With what I saw on ground here today, I am reliably convinced that the Delta State Government is indeed ready for business. The Delta State One-Stop-Shop for Investors, no doubt, is a major catalyst in the economic reformation of the state”.
The NIPC boss, who was also conducted round some of the infrastructures in the state, particularly the Asaba International Airport, the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Park, and the new Government House complex, among others, by the Economic Adviser to the State Governor, Dr. Afam Obiago, commended the administration of Dr.Emmanuel Uduaghan for what he called ‘the unprecedented infrastructural developments in the state’.
He said, “Whenever an investor is coming to a state or country, the first thing he or she will consider is, ‘are there good hospitals to take care of my health needs, are there good schools for my kids, are there good road network, what is the security situation in the area, and many more”
“In all these, I am convinced that the Delta state Government is indeed on track for good business and no investor who knows his or her onion will again hesitate to come and invest in this state, because, to me, investments thrive more on the basis of evident infrastructural development rather than political intuitions”, Okeke enthused.
