Delta Attracts Entrepreneurs, Investors with Free Trade Zones, Seaport Operations

By Oluwadara Akingbohungbe

Special Adviser on Trade and Export to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, Shimite Love, has announced that the State Government is working with Koko and Kwale Free Trade Zones in the State for entrepreneurs to come in for business transactions.

Love said: “A developer, who has built hotel in Asaba and Warri, and looking for another place to build should consider building a factory in the free trade zones because it is still the same price.
That way, we would help build more employment opportunities and give people more access to financial freedom.”

“The heavy duty factories, the light factories, the warehouses, the recreation areas. All of these are business opportunities. Whether you want to have a Salon, factory, office complex for forwarding and trading agents, everything is business opportunities that everybody can build”, she said.

 “So, we are saying that if you have agricultural products that may take a long time in other ports before they are cleared, rather than accumulating demurrage, you can come to Koko Port. We are ready to do business with you at lower costs,’ she reiterated.
