The Governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson, on Saturday, told Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) to be the first oil company to relocate its headquarters to the Niger Delta region.



Dickson made this known when he hosted Mr. Osagie Okunbor, the Managing Director of the SPDC and Country Chairman of Shell Companies, at Government House, Yenagoa.



He further appealed to the Director to help in executing critical projects, such as major roads construction, power projects, industrial park, and many others.



Dickson noted that the SPDC, being the first company to exploit oil resources in the region, should relocate its headquarter to the region as his government is ready to provide land for their operation.



He also pleaded with SPDC to mobilize other oil companies to partner with the state government for the successful creation of the Brass LNG and fertilizer plant projects which will create jobs and as well improve the state’s economy.



Replying to what the Governor said, the Managing Director of SPDC, Mr. Osagie Okunbor, acknowledged his government’s development strides.



He expressed his company’s willingness to assist the state in developing its infrastructures and economy.

OK

This is really gonna be serious.

Almost exactly how it began in 1967.
It wants to happen again in 2017.

seriously

Make sense, it's not too much to ask.

Is Port Harcourt not in the Niger Delta?

Afonjas will come and tell us how unsafe it is to relocate to ND

Good move.
