(DDM) — A contractors’ forum in Delta State has announced plans to host a large-scale peace concert aimed at improving the region’s security perception and attracting investors to its growing economic landscape.
Diaspora Digital Media DDM gathered that the peace-driven initiative is scheduled to hold on Saturday, 29 November 2025, at the Delta State Cultural Centre in Asaba.
Organisers said the concert is primarily designed to promote unity across various communities in Delta State.
They noted that projecting the state as a safe and stable environment is crucial to reviving investment confidence.
According to the forum, Delta State possesses significant commercial potential that continues to be undermined by public misconceptions about insecurity.
Officials stressed that such perceptions discourage investors and slow down development efforts despite several positive strides recorded in recent years.
The peace concert will feature musical performances by popular Nigerian artists representing different genres.
There will also be cultural displays showcasing the unique heritage and artistic expressions of Delta communities.
Speeches from business leaders, grassroots influencers, and community advocates will highlight the importance of maintaining peace as a foundation for economic progress.
Organisers explained that improving investor confidence requires consistent public messaging that underscores cooperation, unity, and shared purpose among residents.
They further emphasised that creating a peaceful atmosphere is not solely a government responsibility but a collective obligation for all stakeholders.
The forum said the event would serve as a symbolic reminder that peace is profitable and essential for sustainable growth
Officials added that Delta State has repeatedly demonstrated resilience and remains committed to positioning itself as a strategic investment destination.
They urged residents to attend the concert, participate actively, and reinforce the message that Delta is open for business.
Observers note that peace-themed cultural events have recently become popular tools for shaping public perception in various parts of Nigeria.
Analysts argue that investors often rely on community engagement indicators and social stability signals when assessing potential business environments.
They believe the peace concert will help counter negative narratives and showcase Delta’s readiness to welcome domestic and foreign investors.
The contractors’ forum also highlighted that improved security perception boosts tourism, commerce, and youth employment in the region.
They expressed optimism that the event will encourage broader collaboration between the private sector, government agencies, and local communities.
Residents are expected to turn out in large numbers as preparations intensify across the capital city.
By blending entertainment with advocacy, the peace concert aims to foster unity while projecting Delta State as a peaceful, investment-friendly destination.
The organisers insist that sustained peace remains the most powerful driver of long-term development in the state.
