Delta to support farmers, investors

Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori announced plans to support farmers and private investors through infrastructure improvements, enhanced power supply, and other incentives aimed at boosting economic diversification and job creation. During an inspection of several farms in different areas of the state, he emphasized that government support would focus on creating an enabling environment rather than direct financial aid. The governor highlighted recent efforts to attract investment, particularly in agriculture, and mentioned specific projects such as a 33kV electricity line and road construction to improve access for farming communities. He also pledged to build a new access road connecting the Warri-Sapele Expressway to Amity Global Farms. Small-scale farmers were prioritized, with promises of fertilizer distribution while discouraging resale. Private sector representatives expressed appreciation for the government's engagement and outlined plans for expanding cassava production and establishing processing industries.
