He wrote, “Over the past eight years, by working closely with the host communities and the oil companies operating in our state, we have successfully nurtured a culture of mutual understanding. This collective effort has fostered peace and promoted cooperation.
“This is why, yesterday, I was deeply honored when our efforts were acknowledged by the International Oil Companies (IOC) operating in Delta State — as they bestowed upon me an award in recognition of my administration’s commitment to creating a “business-friendly” environment, which has positively impacted the investment climate in our state.
