Infrastructure, Blue Economy to Headline Delta 2026 Summit

Omon-Julius Onabu in Asaba

Secretary to the Delta State Government (SSG), Dr Kingsley Emu, on Wednesday in Asaba, asserted that the state was deliberately positioning itself as Nigeria’s burgeoning investment hub by leveraging on large-scale systematic infrastructure development, abundant natural resources, reliable power supply and strategic maritime assets.

Briefing newsmen on the forthcoming Delta State Economic and Investment Summit 2026 slated for 3rd-5th August in Asaba, Emu explained that the Oborevwori administration has laid a solid foundation for industrialisation through sustained investments in roads, bridges, power and transport infrastructure.

The government has constructed and rehabilitated over 2,600 kilometres of roads and more than 20 bridges, opening up rural communities, reducing transportation costs and connecting economic corridors across the state, he said.
