Comrade Mulade Sheriff, a Delta State-born environmentalist and development advocate, has called on Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to adopt a pragmatic approach towards industrializing Delta State.

According to Mulade, leaders worldwide now adopt strategies to harness their countries’ resources for infrastructural development, job creation, and economic growth.

“Delta State is greatly endowed with arable land and marine resources that can turn the State into a food basket for local consumption and create revenues via exports while also achieving the aim of diversifying from an oil-dependent economy in the long run,” Mulade stated.

The Gbaramatu Chief emphasized that adopting an agro-based industrialization strategy would create wealth for the State’s teeming unemployed youths and women. “By engaging them, it will reduce the rate of unemployment and food scarcity, while boosting food sufficiency and its affordability, a key to reducing the poverty index of the State,” he asserted.

Mulade noted that industrializing the State through agriculture and aquaculture would create opportunities for youths and women, curtailing the wastage of idle human resources and turning them into assets that can contribute to the State’s growth and development.

“Agro-based industrialization will help reduce insecurity challenges and criminal tendencies and immorality prevalent in society. When youths and women are meaningfully engaged, this will improve peace and reduce anti-social behaviors like armed robbery, prostitution, amongst others, and in the long run attract more investors into the State,” he said.

The development advocate urged the Oborevwori Administration to prioritize the industrialization of the State through agriculture and aquaculture, emphasizing that Delta has a lot to benefit in the long run.
