MAJOR INVESTMENT CONFERENCE PLANNED
Juba will host the first post independence South Sudan Investment Conference and Trade Fair in October, according to a regular source in Juba. We will be showing potential investors what great range of projects they can apply for, can make a sales pitch for. We need foreign investments in the entire infrastructure, in manufacturing and services, because our government cannot do this alone, we South Sudanese cannot do it alone. We are offering opportunities in housing developments, telecommunications, the health sector, education, power generation and distribution, airport development, railway development, mining, agriculture and agro processing and tourism. We need all those things to make our economy take off and when we are part of East African Community we can offer an even bigger market for those manufacturing or producing agricultural products. Tourism needs hotels in all the state capitals, in the new federal capital, in the safari parks or along the rivers. South Sudan is now open for business and we will facilitate good investors and good projects as much as we can.
True enough adds this correspondent in closing, that a huge potential exists across the South Sudan for all the sectors mentioned, plus aviation which the source inexplicably left out from the extensive list quoted. Watch this space.
One Response
Some sense will prevail; Fedral capital and development are wonderful thoughts. When we look at former sudan, major developments where only in Khartoum. But through fedralism South Sudan could develop much more quicker and the develpment shall be simultaneously happening in every town, city and our “Fedral capital” code name either “Majuwa/Juwama/Wajuma”. If you’re wondering about these codes; there are the combinations of two characters from each of the three major capitals of former south sudan.
