NDCCITMA Prepares for Niger Delta Investment Summit

The Niger Delta Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Trade, Mines and Agriculture (NDCCITMA) is actively seeking to attract investors as it prepares for the Niger Delta Economic and Investment Summit in Port Harcourt, scheduled to commence today. The summit, themed “Driving Investment, Innovation and Industrial Growth in the Niger Delta,” aims to create a private-sector-led platform to enhance investments and unlock the region's economic potential.

Idaere Gogo Ogan, Chairman of NDCCITMA, emphasized the importance of collaboration among the nine Niger Delta states, the federal government, the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), and various stakeholders, including domestic and international investors. The ultimate goal is to transition the region from a resource-dependent economy to a diversified and competitive industrial economy.

Ogan acknowledged that the challenges facing the Niger Delta are largely self-inflicted and require stronger partnerships between the government and the private sector to develop effective policies for resolution.
