He emphasised that the “Delta Beyond Oil” programme was aimed at making the state investors haven where the people of the state would be gainfully employed, stating that there are good network of roads, rivers, electricity, among other facilities that boosts investments.

Governor Uduaghan observed that Oghara is a blessed town that has a lot of companies operating in the area noting that apart from the town being conducive for investments, “The most modern hospital in Nigeria today is in Oghara.”
