Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, on Tuesday said the state could no longer rely solely on oil revenue, urging local and foreign investors to explore opportunities in agriculture, mining, energy, technology and other sectors capable of driving sustainable economic growth.
The governor spoke at the close of the second day of the 2026 Delta State Economic and Investment Summit in Asaba. He said discussions during the summit had reinforced the need for Delta to diversify its economy by attracting strategic investments into sectors where the state has strong competitive advantages.
“We can no longer depend on one source of revenue. We must diversify our economy by attracting strategic investments into sectors where Delta State has a clear comparative advantage. That is the pathway to creating jobs, growing businesses and improving the quality of life of our people,” Oborevwori said.
He thanked local and foreign investors, development partners and other participants
