Ιnvestors from Greece will set up a ship-building plant in Nigeria‘s Niger Delta, announced Edobor Iyamu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Niger Delta Affairs on Thursday.
According to the Independent news agency report, Iyamou made the announcement to the State House Correspondents after a meeting with a delegation of Theo-Man Limited, a Greek firm in Abuja, and clarified that the company would also train ex-agitators in fishing.
“We have a group of investors from Greece,” Iyamou noted. “They have come in to do a number of things in the Niger Delta region, to train a good number of the ex-agitators, to give them skills in fishing and ship-building.”
“They (the Greek firm) partnered the Presidential Amnesty Office and the whole idea is to set up a ship-building outfit where they will be training a lot of ex-agitators in ship-building and fishing.”
“When investors begin to come to a country, it means they found the economy of that country attractive,” Iyamou continued. “It is very positive for the country that we have investors coming in to show that they believe in what this administration is doing.”
The Nigerian official added that the Greek investors are “comfortable with the level of peace and calm in the region.”
