Urhobo Economic and Investment Summit (Ekpobaro 2020)

Diversification of the economy has been an agenda of various administrations in Nigeria over time, particularly in the back post - 1970 oil boom era. It’s not new as an economic policy stand.

Diversification, away from crude oil, has been the main focus, and the direction has been agriculture, manufacturing, services and mining, among others. It is also twofold diversification of government revenue, and diversification of output or contribution to GDP.

Urhobo Nation is unarguably blessed with numerous natural and mineral resources. Outside Oil, agriculture, which is one of the economic solid bases in Urhoboland, but has been made inconspicuous ever since which led to it being under-utilized till date.

Plan to attend, and join other leading professionals in the agribusiness industry at the Third Edition of Urhobo Economic and Investment Summit as we proffer workable solutions towards harnessing the countless potentials in the Agricultural sector for a more prosperous Urhoboland of our dream.
