Professor Chandan Kheswar, the ambassador of Mauritius to Russia and president of the All Africa Association of Small and Medium Medium Enterprises, has revealed the country’s plans to establish a consulate office in the state of Bayelsa, Nigeria’s South-south, in order to fortify the ties between global business relationships.
At a week-long summit in Yenagoa with the theme “Building towards a shared prosperity,” Prof. Jankee made this announcement.
He applauded the administration led by Senator Douye Diri for its efforts to support and encourage small- and medium-sized business owners.
According to him, the Bayelsa government’s dedication to the development of SMEs made it necessary to seek his country’s permission for the location of her consular office in the state.

When it comes to fostering the expansion of SMEs nationwide, Bayelsa State has emerged as a model for other states in the nation.
According to data from the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics (NBS), which determined that Bayelsa had the lowest crime rate countrywide, this development will serve as a spur for economic growth, according to Professor Jankee.
Economy cannot grow in a crisis environment, but Bayelsa’s current tranquility will stimulate both local and foreign investors.
Therefore, he urged small and medium-sized business owners to take advantage of the chance given by the government to expand their enterprises.

He underlined the administration’s willingness to work with both domestic and international investors to promote their companies.
He claims that Bayelsa has the longest coastline in Africa and the greenest agriculture-friendly nature.
An analysis of the state’s soil reveals that it is the best for growing rice and other arable crops. The amount of rice produced in Bayelsa state is sufficient to feed all of Africa.
According to data made public and made available by the Bureau of Statistics, Bayelsa has been deemed one of the safest states in the nation in terms of security.
