The Delta State Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Barr. Mrs. Mary Iyasere, has inaugurated the Project Implementation and Strategy subcommittee of the state Committee on Export Promotion.
The ceremony took place yesterday at conference room in the office of the commissioner during a meeting of the state Committee on Export Promotion.
Barr. Iyasere said that the inauguration of the subcommittee has become expedient due to the inability of producers in the State to export their products.
She charged members of the subcommittee to work towards the provision of suitable platforms for farmers in the state to export their products.
The Chairman of the committee, who is also the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Mr. Arthur-Prest Umukoro, thanked the Commissioner for giving members of the subcommittee the opportunity to contribute their quota in the export promotion drive of the state.
During the meeting of the committee, two possible products for exportation, palm oil and cassava, were penciled down, while more investigations will be carried out to find out the comparative advantage of each product over others.
This is in line with the one-state-one-product programme initiative of the Federal Government aimed at boosting export.
Members of the Sub Committee are the Permanent Secretary, Government House and Protocol, Director of Commerce in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, representatives of Delta State Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (DACCIMA), Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), Shippers Council, All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN), Ministry of Economic Planning, Bank of Industry, Bank of Agriculture, Nigerian Immigration Service, Nigerian Customs Service and Delta State chapter of the National Youth Council.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
