ASABA – Delta State Government on Tuesday said the Agro-Industrial Park being established in Aboh-Ogwashi in Aniocha South Local Government Area would be a catalyst for economic transformation in the state.
The Commissioner for Information in the state, Mr Charles Aniagwu, stated this during an inspection tour of the project, and said that it was a strong commitment of Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa’s administration to grow a Delta economy not dependent on oil.
According to Aniagwu who said that the Park would provide agro-processing value-chain services to farmers in the state, Delta has been known for oil but we have also said that this is the time to move beyond oil and that it is not going to be mere rhetorics.
