Rivers, Most Peaceful Tourist, Business Destination — Fubara!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

Governor Siminalayi Fubara has described Rivers State as one of Nigeria’s most peaceful and welcoming destinations for both tourism and business. He made this assertion while addressing stakeholders at a public engagement event in Port Harcourt.

“Rivers State today stands as a peaceful, safe, and hospitable environment for investors and tourists alike,” Fubara said.

Key Details:

• The governor noted that despite political tensions, the state remains stable, with consistent efforts by security agencies to maintain law and order.
• He highlighted the state’s natural beauty, cultural heritage, and economic potential, encouraging both local and foreign investment.
• Recent infrastructural projects and urban renewal programmes were cited as evidence of Rivers’ readiness for growth and global engagement.

Why It Matters:

• Fubara’s remarks seek to counter narratives of unrest in the Niger Delta, projecting a new image of Rivers as business- and tourist-friendly.
• With Nigeria facing economic strain, state-level initiatives to attract tourism and investment are vital for diversification and employment.
• Positive perception of safety is key to attracting domestic and international visitors.

What to Watch:

• Reactions from business communities and tourism operators in the region.
• Potential rise in hospitality and real estate development linked to renewed investor confidence.
• Federal or international partnerships aligned with the state’s peace and development agenda.
