The Delta State Government says it has carried out extensive reforms that have greatly improved the ease of doing business, and has invited local and foreign investors to take advantage of opportunities in the state.
Governor Sheriff Oborevwori made the call at a town hall meeting in Asaba organized with the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council. Represented by Finance Commissioner Fidelis Tilije, he said the administration had implemented far-reaching reforms across land administration, investment facilitation, public-private partnerships, revenue administration, security and dispute resolution.
Tilije said the government had digitally indexed and archived Certificates of Occupancy issued between 2012 and 2024 to improve land administration, issued an executive order institutionalizing a framework for responsible agricultural land investment, and automated central billing for taxes and levies.
He said the state had also strengthened its legal framework through its anti-kidnapping law and the establishment of Small Claims Courts to resolve commercial disputes within 60 days, assuring investors that Delta was peaceful, secure and ready for investment.
