Delta State Government Finalizes Arrangements for Economic Summit to Secure Global Capital Investments


The Delta State Government announced that 25 major prospective investors from Brazil and China have formalized plans to participate in the upcoming Delta State Investment and Economic Summit. The Chairman of the Summit’s Main Organising Committee and Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Kingsley Emu, disclosed the milestone during a high-level stakeholders’ engagement in Asaba on Tuesday. The state-backed economic forum will feature key national and global policy leaders, including Vice President Kashim Shettima and the Director-General of the World Trade Organization, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

The investment summit serves as a primary administrative clearinghouse to link Delta State’s vast natural resources directly with local and international capital networks. The State Ministry of Economic Planning and connected trade secretariats will use the platform to present structured investment opportunities across critical sectors, including agriculture, power infrastructure, the blue economy, solid minerals, manufacturing, and oil and gas processing. The ultimate goal of the international engagement is to secure long-term capital commitments that generate sustainable industrial jobs and boost local manufacturing output.


Hosting this high-profile economic summit highlights the state executive's proactive approach to macroeconomic management and sub-national economic independence. By attracting international trade organizations and multinational corporations to evaluate state assets, the administration strengthens its institutional transparency and economic competitiveness. The framework optimizes land-use planning, establishes clear regulatory pathways for foreign direct investment, and provides a sustainable structure for long-term public revenue diversification and state development.
