Senator Shettima, who stated this on Monday in Asaba, the Delta State capital @DSGovernment, during the state’s Economic and Investment Summit 2026, reiterated the need for states to transition from basic asset documentation to practical execution and job creation. “The cycle of competition among our states is now evident in the quality and ambition of the investment summits convened across the federation. He applauded Delta State Governor Sheriff Francis Orohwedor Oborevwori’s @RTHonSheriff “bold leap towards a greater Delta and for creating a platform that matches the ambition of his people,” stressing that the state has advantage that is larger than its oil wealth. The state’s advantage, the VP noted, lies in its conviction behind the economic and investment summit “that the future of a people cannot be deposited in a single commodity. He, however, maintained that Nigeria will require foreign capital to thrive, even as he called for networking among stakeholders, adding that “deals are the real thing” at any economic summit.
