GOVERNOR Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State has said that his administra­tion will continue formulate policies that actively promote and sustain a business-friendly environmen­t in order to attract investors to the State.

Governor Oborevwori, who spoke while inaugurati­ng the Asaba branch of Signature Bank, said his Administra­tion would continuall­y seek ways to enhance the ease of doing business in the State as part of measures to attract more investors.

He said, “This Administra­tion is very pro-business and it is continuall­y seeking the ways to enhance the ease of doing business in the state in order 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”.

While expressing delight at the official inaugurati­on of the bank in Asaba, the governor said that the State Government was more than happy to welcome additional bank to the rapidly expanding banking sector in the State.

He pointed out that Asaba had witnessed the influx of old and new generation banks in the last five years or thereabout­s because of the city’s 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 entreprenu­ers, 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’ need and deploying cutting edge technology and a strong culture of excellence in profession­alism.”
