A high-powered delegation from Delta State, Nigeria, is in Brazil on a mission to deepen investment opportunities that will advance Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda.
The team, led by Anthony Elekeokwuri, Director-General of the Delta State Investment Development Agency (DIDA), includes Commissioner for Trade and Investment Samuel Oligida, Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information Charles Aniagwu, Chief Economic Adviser Dr. Barry Pere Gbe, and Commissioner for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Ada Val Arenyekwa, Esq.
The visit seeks to tap Brazil’s expertise in agriculture, renewable energy, and infrastructure. According to Aniagwu, the mission builds on Delta’s participation at recent international investment forums and is designed to position the state as a prime destination for global investors.
“Our engagement in Brazil reinforces our commitment to creating partnerships that will deliver tangible benefits to Deltans,” Aniagwu said.
Commissioner Arenyekwa stressed Brazil’s success in agribusiness as a model for Delta’s agricultural transformation. “We aim to enhance our value chain, expand job opportunities, and guarantee food security through technology-driven farming,” she noted.
Oligida highlighted plans to foster trade linkages, attract Brazilian manufacturers, and promote agro-allied industries in Delta. Similarly, Dr. Gbe emphasized that studying Brazil’s rural infrastructure and renewable energy models would help create a sustainable framework for inclusive growth back home.
Elekeokwuri reaffirmed Delta’s investor-friendly environment and said the Brazil mission sends “a clear message that the state is open for business.”
The delegation is holding talks with government officials, private sector leaders, and industry experts. Insights from these engagements are expected to shape Delta’s policies and accelerate implementation of Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda—anchored on development, opportunity, reform, and peace.
