In a strategic move to accelerate the development of Delta State, the Honourable Commissioners for the Ministries of Housing and Trade & Investment have joined forces to oversee the progress of the highly anticipated Udu Harbour Market project.
The Honourable Commissioner for the Ministry of Housing, Hon. Godknows Angele, and the Honourable Commissioner for the Ministry of Trade and Investment, Hon. Samuel Oligida, recently conducted a joint inspection of the ongoing construction work at the Udu Harbour Market site.
This collaborative effort underscores the state lot government’s commitment not to delivering on its MORE (Meaningful Development, Opportunity for All, Reformation, and Empowerment) agenda, as championed by the dynamic and visionary Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori.

The Udu Harbour Market project, a multi-billion naira investment, is poised to be a game-changer for the economic landscape of Delta State.
Governor Oborevwori, during the inspection, reaffirmed his administration’s unwavering support for the project, assuring the contractor of prompt payments and emphasizing the government’s zero tolerance for shoddy work.
The synergy between the Ministries of Housing and Trade & Investment is crucial in ensuring the timely completion and successful operation of the Udu Harbour Market. The Housing Ministry’s expertise in infrastructure development, coupled with the Trade & Investment Ministry’s focus on fostering business growth and economic opportunities, promises to create a seamless integration of the project’s various components.
“The Udu Harbour Market will not only serve as a modern and vibrant trading hub but also as a catalyst for economic development and job creation in the region,” said Hon. Godknows Angele, the Honourable Commissioner for the Ministry of Housing.
The project’s strategic location in Udu Local Government Area, combined with the state government’s commitment to providing the necessary infrastructure and support, is expected to attract both local and international investors, further strengthening Delta State’s position as a prime destination for trade and commerce.
Hon. Samuel Oligida, the Honourable Commissioner for the Ministry of Trade and Investment, echoed the sentiments, stating, “The Udu Harbour Market will not only boost the trade and investment landscape in Delta State but also create employment opportunities and improve the overall standard of living for our people.”
The collaborative efforts of the Ministries of Housing and Trade & Investment are a testament to the state government’s holistic approach to development. By aligning their respective expertise and resources, they are poised to deliver a world-class project that will undoubtedly contribute to the realization of the MORE agenda and the overall progress of Delta State.
As the Udu Harbour Market project nears completion, the people of Delta State can look forward to the numerous economic and social benefits it will bring, further solidifying the state’s position as a vibrant hub for business, trade, and investment.
