The Delta State government has said it will provide enough security and an enabling environment for all genuine investors to invest in the state under the private-public-partnership initiative of the present administration.
The commissioner for Agriculture and National Resources, Dr. Ogaranya Tabs-Tabowei disclosed this after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Ministry and a United Kingdom and Nigeria based agro-allied company.
Dr. Tabs-Tabowei said that land would also be made available to any investor interested in developing the agro-allied sector of the state's economy adding that over 10 000 hectares of land will be utilised for the cultivation of rice, cassava and other products by the British firm.

Speaking on behalf of the community, the Secretary of Jakpa Community Management Committee, Barrister E. Urowayino expressed satisfaction with the agricultural revolution coming to their community.
