Oborevwori Meets Jampur Group on Energy, Agro-Allied Investments

Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, on Tuesday hosted the management of Jampur Group, led by its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mohammad Shafiq, at Government House, Asaba, to explore fresh investment opportunities in the state.

Governor Oborevwori disclosed that discussions with the international conglomerate centred on strategic investments in the energy sector and agro-allied industry, both of which are critical to Delta’s economic growth.

Highlighting the state’s readiness for private sector partnerships, the Governor pointed to the recent unbundling of Nigeria’s power sector by the Federal Government and the enactment of the state’s own power sector law, which he said provides a robust regulatory framework to guarantee investor protection.

"As a government, we are exploring areas of collaboration to include power generation, smart meter production, a fertiliser blending plant, and a solar panel production plant,” Oborevwori stated.

He further revealed that he has directed the Economic Management Team (EMT) to engage strategically with Jampur Group to conduct due diligence, assess financing options, and outline clear outcomes for potential projects.

The Governor praised Jampur Group’s track record in delivering end-to-end energy solutions across Nigeria, including in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), noting that Delta State stands to benefit significantly from such expertise.

The meeting underscores the Oborevwori administration’s commitment to driving investments under its MORE Agenda, with a focus on industrialization, infrastructure expansion, and sustainable development.
