Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has urged investors, particularly Deltans at home and abroad, to capitalize on the state’s improving socio-economic environment, declaring, “The time to invest in Delta State is now.” The call was made on Friday in Ubeji, Warri South Local Government Area, during the inauguration of the multi-million-naira Swiss International Rancho Valerie Hotel, a landmark hospitality and tourism investment.
Governor Oborevwori hailed the hotel as a bold testament to Warri’s rising economic profile and its reclaiming of status as Delta’s commercial and tourism hub. Highlighting the city’s transformation, he said, “Warri is rising again, Delta State is progressing steadily. The shadows of yesterday have given way to the bright possibilities of today and the greater promises of tomorrow.”
In a decisive move to support infrastructure and investor confidence, the Governor ordered the immediate rehabilitation of failed sections of the Ubeji/Egbokodo/Refinery Road. He noted that such developments not only provide premium accommodation but also stimulate local enterprise, create jobs, enhance community peace, and contribute significantly to the state’s socio-economic growth.

Oborevwori praised the hotel’s owner, Mr. Mode Akoma, for choosing to invest in his home community, describing the project as a demonstration of vision, resilience, and commitment to Delta’s development. “If you had invited me to commission a hotel you built outside Delta State, I would not have attended. But I am proud that you chose to develop your community. This project brings jobs, brings peace, and brings progress,” he said.
The Governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to infrastructure renewal, enhanced security, and investor-friendly policies under the MORE Agenda, noting that the success of projects like Swiss International Rancho Valerie underscores the limitless investment opportunities in Delta State.
During the event, the hotel’s General Manager, Mr. Todowede Opeyemi, emphasized that the facility aims to provide international-standard hospitality while promoting Delta’s rich tourism potential. He assured that guests would experience not only comfort but a celebration of the state’s culture and warmth.
