President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to lead a gathering of dignitaries, investors, and industry leaders at the Niger Delta Investment and Economic Summit in Port Harcourt, River State. The summit aims to unlock economic opportunities and accelerate sustainable development across the oil rich Niger Delta region.
Organisers describe the event as a high impact investment platform designed to bring together policymakers, development partners, and business leaders to explore scalable and bankable opportunities. The summit is expected to feature keynote addresses, technical sessions, plenary discussions, and sector specific investment forums. Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados, will deliver a keynote address alongside other prominent speakers.
Chairman of the Niger Delta Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Trade, Mines and Agriculture, Ideare Gogo-Ogan, emphasised that while the region is rich in natural resources, coordinated policies and strategic investment are essential to fully harness its economic potential. He expressed confidence that the team organising the summit would deliver a world class investment platform capable of reshaping the economic narrative of the region.
The summit will also focus on key sectors such as energy transition, optimisation of the oil and gas value chain, agriculture, the blue economy, infrastructure development, manufacturing, technology and digital innovation, environmental sustainability, and human capital development. The proposed theme is “Driving Investment, Innovation, and Industrial Growth in the Niger Delta.”
Coordinating consultants include Tony Epelle of Samuelson Advisory Partners, Neo Media and Marketing founded by Ehi Braimah, and Red Sapphire Nig Ltd’s Ono K. Akpe. The Niger Delta Development Commission is expected to play a central role as a major supporter. The summit aims to deliver measurable outcomes such as policy commitments, investment deals, and strategic partnerships to accelerate development across the region.
