GOV. Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta has promised to promote and keep a business-friendly environment to sustain and attract investors to the state.
The governor promised this while inaugurating the Signature Bank, Asaba Branch, on Tuesday.
Oborevwori said his administration would always seek ways to enhance the ease of doing business in the state to attract more investors.
“One of the ways we have achieved this is through enhancing peace and security, which is the fourth pillar of our MORE Agenda.
“We are constantly working with the relevant security agencies to sustain the tempo of peace that we currently enjoy in the state.
“This is to ensure that people can go about their lawful businesses without fear or hindrance. Many people come into Delta State on a daily basis.
“So, I want to assure you that as you have come to open this branch here and proposing another one in Warri, the bank will enjoy the government’s support,” Oborevwori said.
He said Asaba had witnessed an influx of old and new-generation banks in the last five years due to its growing reputation as a peaceful centre for trade, commerce, entertainment and hospitality.
“Also, with its transformation into a modern city, Asaba is a strong pool for young professionals and entrepreneurs, hence the prospects for commercial banking are huge.
“Since the founding of the Signature Bank in 2022, it has steadily built a reputation for customised banking services, creating solutions to customers’ needs and deploying cutting-edge technology and a strong culture of excellence in professionalism.
“I have no doubt that its presence in Asaba will enliven the banking sector in the state and lead to healthier competition, which is good for customers,” he said.
The governor, who was excited by the employment opportunities the bank would bring, said job creation was one of the four pillars of his administration’s MORE Agenda.
Earlier, the acting Managing Director of the bank, Mr Godwin Nosike, said establishing a branch in Asaba revealed the bank’s belief in the opportunities and friendly business environment of the state. (NAN)
