‘Rivers To Become Largest Business Hub In Nigeria’

Following the random establishment of business projects in Rivers State business operators have said that it would soon become the largest business hub in the country.
Some business operators who spoke with The Tide in Port Harcourt, Monday, said that the spate of business outfits in the state would, in the nearest future, turn the state to “Dubai”.
A businessman, Mr. Ifeanyi Ikenga, pointed out that with the available outfits in the State, Governor Nyesom Wike, has proven his desire for a business environment growth.
He said that there was no better way to care for a people than to ensure that its business environment was booming.
Ikenga challenged those with a differnt view to come open and defend their claims by naming the states doing better than Rivers.
Another business tycoon Faith Wilberforce, said that the recent commissioning of the fertilizer plant at Eleme was a standard proof of the business growth in the State.
She noted that development can only come when the business future of any given State is bright regardless of the challenges it may be facing.
Wilberforce, who claimed to be a merchant in food items, said that Rivers State remained the best place to do business in the east of the Niger.
She was of the view that those whose businesses are illegal may not see the State as a fertile soil for their operations due to the tight monitoring of such outfits in the State.
Others also linked the numerous good roads in the State as part of reasons for business enhancement in the area.
It would be recalled that a multi-million dollar fertilizer plant built by the Indorama Group at Eleme, in Eleme Local Government Area, was commissioned by the Acting President, last Thursday.
