Governor Oborevwori Sets $100m Funding to Attract Investors

Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori says the state government has set aside 100 million dollars, about N173 billion, as viability gap funding to reduce risks for investors and attract more real investments into the state.

The governor disclosed this on Monday in Asaba while delivering a keynote address at the Delta State Economic and Investment Summit 2026, with the theme “Harnessing Our Strengths, Unlocking Our Potential.”

Oborevwori said the summit is not just a talk show but a commitment by his administration to build a stronger economy, create jobs and drive development across Delta State.

He added that Delta, with a population of over six million people and an economy estimated at about N16 trillion, is ready to partner with investors and unlock its economic potential.
