The Delta State Government on Wednesday reaffirmed its commitment to revive no fewer than 20 moribund industries in the state, saying that the effort would be pivotal in its job and wealth creation initiatives.
The Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Mrs. Mary Iyasere, who stated this in Asaba, said the initiatives would create prosperity for the people of the state.
She said the state government will not renege on its promise to revive the ailing industries.
Some of the industries to be revive include Asaba Textile Mill, Bendel Glass, Bendel Steel Structures, Uzere Cassava Processing Mill, Reliance Rubber Factory, Sky Brewery, Super Brewery, among others.
She said that while plans had been concluded for the privatisation of some of the government-owned ailing industries, the state government had engaged the owners of some privately-owned moribund industries on how to revive the industries.
The commissioner explained that currently, the state government is shopping for core private investors who will invest in those industries.
She said, “We are not going back on our plans to revive some of the ailing industries in the state. This is critical to us in driving our vision of job and wealth creation for the good people of the state. In fact, it is a concluded matter because if we do not revive the ailing industries, how do you think we can create jobs and wealth?”
