Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State is locked in talks with the new Belgian Ambassador to Nigeria, Daniel Bertrand, to scale-up business and investment interests.
The top-level talks held behind closed doors at the Government House Port Harcourt, this Tuesday.
Top government officials say the talk is an indication of mutual consent between the two parties on the areas of investment interests that will benefit Rivers and Belgium.
The Belgian envoy said his visit to Rivers was propelled by the concern to see the extent of operations of Belgium companies in the big oil and gas state.
“This is my first visit to Rivers State. So, I want to pay a courtesy call on the Governor. I am here to visit the state and to visit Belgium companies existing in this area.
“There are already some Belgium companies existing in Nigeria with facilities in Rivers State. So we have some opportunities to have our facilities in gas and agriculture.”
