The Managing Director
of Fixit Optimum Solutions Company Limited (FOS) Port Harcourt, Chief Dighobo Obaghama, has said that the on-going contest of the governorship elections at the tribunal between the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) would not affect business activities in the state.
Obaghama who spoke to our correspondent in Port Harcourt, Saturday against the fear expressed by some people that the development was capable of affecting business activities in the state negatively, stated that the reverse was rather the case.
He opined that what enhance the fortunes of business in every environment were the infrastructural development and a reliable government.
According to him, if the state government could do what the federal government was expected to do, it would have an overriding influence on the business environment of the state.
Explaining, the FOS boss said Governor Nyesom Wike had so far taken drastic steps to enhance infrastructural development in the state even as he said the present government was one that could be predicted.
“It is a government that we in the business community can predict.
“We know that it has a good focus due to the steps it has taken so far”, he said.
Obaghama said if the government at the centre was run seriously on their own part then the business activity in Rivers State was sure to grow in leaps and bounds.
On the opening of the courts in relation to business activity in the state, the FOS boss stated that it was an added advantage.
According to him, the development has enhanced law and order with the issue of insecurity being tackled head on in conjunction with security agencies.
He expressed that the present government had taken reasonable steps to work with the police to ensure that the security of the state was okay.
He said the normal functioning of the courts would have a multiplier effect on the business environment in the state.
Obaghama who is into construction, engineering and oil and gas amongst others expressed optimism that Rivers State would be a business haven.
“I also strongly believe that since the governor is not doing anything outside the authority of the State Assembly and every of his actions so far conforms with the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, business in Rivers State will grow tremendously” he said.
