Land for the siting of factories and offices is a key attraction to FDI in the free zones.<\/p>\n<p>The surveyor-general of the state, Gede Moses, said a portion of the 35,000-hectare land has been surveyed and is ready for deployment.<\/p>\n<p>Bayelsa State Governor Seriake Dickson declared that OGFZA was free to deploy those land resources the way it deems fit to accelerate the development of free zones in the state. Dickson was responding to a request for support from the managing director of OGFZA, Mr Umana Okon Umana, who was in government house, Yenegoa to pay a courtesy call on the state governor.<\/p>\n<p>During the visit, Umana had asked Governor Dickson to support \u201cOGFZA to execute its mandate of attracting investments to the free zones with allocation of land to the authority, backed with a certificate of occupancy\u201d as a way of giving the investment agency \u201cthe capacity to effectively partner investors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Umana praised the Bayelsa State government for its enduring support to OGFZA over the years and described the relationship between the state and the agency as that of \u201cnatural partners in the development of the (South-South) region and our dear country in general.\u201d He also commended the governor\u2019s commitment to the development of Bayelsa State.<\/p>\n<p>He said the Brass Oil and Gas City, to which $3.5 billion has been committed, was a major effort to improve the quality of lives of Nigerians and accelerate development of the South-South region. Noting that the world has come to realize the place of free zones as engines of growth and development that have generated more than 42 million jobs in about 4,000 free zones globally, Umana called for \u201cthe abiding support of the Bayelsa State Government for OGFZA in its mandate as free zones regulator to inspire and sustain continuing confidence of the investment community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dickson pledged his administration\u2019s support for the projects but expressed concern that important aspects of the projects such as access road to Brass Oil and Gas City was beyond the capacity of the state government and needed federal intervention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a hre=\"http:\/\/guardian.ng\/property\/ogfza-gets-land-from-bayelsa-state-for-free-zone-business\/\"> Guardian <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Managing Director of OGFZA, Umana Okon Umana The Oil and Gas Free Zones Authority (OGFZA) got &hellip; <a title=\"OGFZA gets land from Bayelsa State for free zone business\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/ogfza-gets-land-from-bayelsa-state-for-free-zone-business\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">OGFZA gets land from Bayelsa State for free zone business<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4637,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[1399,1437,617,3058,522,41,12],"class_list":["post-4636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities-in-new-markets","tag-development","tag-gas","tag-house","tag-location","tag-nigeria","tag-property","tag-surveyor"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Umana-Okon-Umana-Akwa-Ibom-690x450.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1864,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/dangote-refinery-free-trade-zone-lift-lagos-real-estate\/","url_meta":{"origin":4636,"position":0},"title":"Dangote refinery, free trade zone lift Lagos real estate","author":"Amazing Property","date":"March 13, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"On-going public and private sector synergy leading to the development of Dangote Refinery Project and Lagos Free Trade Zone (FTZ) have been received by the real estate community last week with mixed feelings, with the leadership of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV) decrying the non-involvement of\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Opportunities In New Markets&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Opportunities In New Markets","link":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/category\/opportunities-in-new-markets\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/lekki-free-Zone.jpg?fit=1200%2C696&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/lekki-free-Zone.jpg?fit=1200%2C696&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/lekki-free-Zone.jpg?fit=1200%2C696&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/lekki-free-Zone.jpg?fit=1200%2C696&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/lekki-free-Zone.jpg?fit=1200%2C696&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":7215,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/dickson-cbn-others-laud-mosilo-bayelsa-rice-outgrowers-scheme\/","url_meta":{"origin":4636,"position":1},"title":"Dickson, CBN, others laud Mosilo Bayelsa Rice Outgrowers Scheme","author":"Amazing Property","date":"November 25, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Bayelsa State governor, Seriake Dickson has commended the Chairman of Mosilo Group, Mr. Moses Siasia for initiating the Mosilo Bayelsa Rice Outgrowers Scheme, stressing that it will\u00a0 create jobs and make the state a major player in the rice farming and processing industry.
