The Deputy Governor of Delta State, Sir Monday Onyeme, FCA, has called on well-to-do Deltans to invest in the state.
He made the call on Sunday while inaugurating Decency Hotel and Suites, Kwale in Ndokwa West Local Government Area of Delta State.
He emphasized that Deltans should not leave investments in the state solely in the hands of Non-Deltans because of the huge and quick returns on investment.
He said, “This hotel is a great boost to our tourism industry; we believe that this investment will encourage other Deltans to come and invest in our state because, we cannot rely on Non-Deltans alone to invest and develop our state, our communities.
“Our Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has made our state to be very conducive for investment and with the MORE Agenda, our state will always have quick returns on investment for those who are doing genuine business in our state.
“As an individual, I understand that one challenge facing investors in Kwale is electricity supply and I can assure you that we are working with all relevant agencies to ensure that there is steady electricity supply in Kwale, Ndokwa land and all parts of our state.
“What we require from our people is patience, pray for us and support the government of Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori.”
Earlier, the Chairman, Decency Hotel and Suites, Chief Benson Ogwu said the hotel was established to boost tourism in the area and provide world-class services to its customers.
