Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara says the state is currently ranked as the 25th most developed state in Africa.
The Governor said this at the opening ceremony of the two-day Rivers State Economic and Investment Summit (RSEIS), with the theme: “Rivers Emerge: Advancing Pathways to Economic Growth and Sustainability,” which held at Dr Obi Wali International Conference Centre in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
According to him, the state offers the best business place for investors to put in there and make profits.
He maintained that his administration is taking measures to ensure that those numerous production factories that shut down operations in the State returned because of the renewed commitment to re-industralise the State.
Governor insisted that the various measures taken were to make Rivers to emerge as the premiere investment destination for all categories of investors.
