Estate Operator Wants Investments In Rural Areas

Investors in Rivers State
have called on investors to invest in rural areas with proper development plan.
A real estate agent, Mr Geo Worme stated this in an interview with newsmen at the weekend in Port Harcourt.
He said the idea was to bridge the gap between rural and Urban development.
Worme kept investing majorly in parts of Port Harcourt City and Obio/Akpor Lcoal Government Areas, that it would drastically affect the rate of development in other parts of the state.
According to him, areas like Ahoada, Bori, Emohua and Degema should have some areas reserved for investors.
He maintained that until such was done, that the afore mentioned areas may not witness investors presence in the next decade.
The real estate expert, reasoned that if such move was made, that job opportunities will also be available in the areas.
He said the increase in rural migration was as a result of under development in the rural areas, which according to him, would be controlled by the presence of investors.
Wome, also trained tug boat designer, tasked indigenous investors to cultivate the habit of investing in their respective local government areas.
He was of the view that since charity begins at home, that those in business must learn how to establish at home in a bid to carrying the youth along.
Meanwhile, he called on the state Governor, Chief Ezenwo Wike, to create more conducive atmosphere that will attract investors to the state.
