except people repent from militancy, I don't think any investor will want to invest in the region.

it's a fantastic idea from the federal government but it's merely a pipe dream to me. I see it as a fanciful illusory diversionary tactics by the government.

If Benin republic had a stable democracy and a population of 300 million in 2001, do you think MTN and DSTV would have preferred Nigeria?

In this case, investors have a better option in the same neighborhood. That said, this is spanning across all the ND states from Ondo to Akwa Ibom . . . the rest 7 states would be fine, it is up to Bayelsa and Delta to decide to grow up or not (it's funny how this 2 states think it's all about them though when oil is mentioned, they are not even the top 2 states in production nor reserves).

BTW, what is your definition of a 'pariah nation', and how is Nigeria a pariah nation?

WorldRichest:


MTN and DStv started operations in Lagos and Abuja and not Bayelsa and Delta. Later, they expanded and then took the risk and invested profits made in Lagos and Abuja in the South South. No company will invest in terrorists' zone. Even you, why is your company in Lagos and not in Amassoma or Okrika. Don't you wonder why Asari Dokuboh built his private university in Benin Republic instead of his home town Kalabari ?

abacha
No democracy
USA warning it's citizens not to travel here

Drug label
Etc
And yes our market is our selling point that greed cannot ignore

The telcos came in 2001, Abacha was long gone then. Econet came in first. We had a 2 year democracy going on already.

At the emboldened, LOL . . . so true!

Industrial Park coming for Niger Delta States

President Buhari's government has acquired 270 hectares of land in each of 9 Niger Delta States, Edo, Rivers, Bayelsa, Abia, Akwaibom, Delta, Cross Rivers, Imo and Ondo, for the creation of industrial parks to stimulate economic development.

An industrial park is an area zoned for industrial development. It may have refineries, seaports, warehouse, airports, oil & gas plants, food and beverage processors etc. This initiative is coming under the Ministry of Niger Delta.
