The governor of the oil rich state made his call in Bentiu, State capital of the Unity while addressing visiting delegation from European Union.

Taban said investors should establish businesses with a view to supplementing Government’s effort in uplifting the living standards of people in the State. He added that his state government encourages investments in the areas of agriculture, oil sector as well as education and health.

The governor returned recently from European countries where he met different governments officials and business groups to sell his government plans to draw foreign investors to the region. He also sought international assistance to help in the economic recovery of the war ravaged region of Southern Sudan.

He said his administration is ready to receive foreign investors as this will greatly help in creating more job opportunities for the local people, thereby elevating the living standards of people in societies.

“I always hope as citizen of this state that its residents can start receiving more foreign investors who have a heart for helping the vulnerable people in society.”

“Let me assure the people in the world that Unity is a wonderful and peaceful place where every visitor feels at home.”

“So, people should come and invest in this state with the passion of assisting the vulnerable people in the country,” he said.

He continued to add his administration has created an enabling business environment which has helped investors to flourish despite the global economic meltdown.

“My government has created an enabling business environment and we have seen many businesses flourishing because of the support that our investors are receiving from Government.”

    Dinka-puppet Taban Deng Gai only created financial corruption and political corruption in Unity State.
    He recently went to Europe to open corrupted bank-accounts and not for attracting potential investers.

    Taban was breast-fed by a Nuer mother and raised by her. But Taban forgets all these and only remembers being Salva Kiir’s puppet today in Bentiu. God’s watching!! We only forgo destruction of Nuer lives through Taban Deng in Lieh State.

    Taban can come to his sense and quit being a Dinka-puppet in unity State or keeps being a political provocateur for Kiir and instigated to kill Nuer women and children in depending Salva Kiir’s political & economic corruption in south sudan. Taban can rescue his political future now. His future is with his people of Greater Lieh State and not with Kiir’s poorest Warrap State. Taban, your mother’s own Nuer precious milk and God are watching you!! Quit commiting crimes against her own blood in Bentiu!!!

    This idiot monster call Taban Hussein is trying to fool international community by falsily stated that Unity State is peacefull, what a shame.

    The guy has just crashed to death women and children in Bentiu with help of Major General Gony Biliu, a man who defies all Nuer pride and norms by sticking out Kerbino Kwanyin Bol’s dick in Bonga and Bilpam in the early 1980s.

    Taban Hussein, death to you and your bloody Dinka conspirators.

    Thank you General Taban Deng Gai for your efforts to renew our green Bentiu, after the Arabs ruin it during the war time by destroying developed buildings, which were left by British government in Sudan since 1950s, as they prompted to cut down our mangoes trees, and they left the city without taste of beauty, while it was a very beautiful city in Upper Nile.

    I am so grateful to hear that news. In addition, Mr. Governor i would like to advice you to do your best effort to unite our people in unity state, and i know you will do that because you were a great teacher in Bentiu District, with your fellows Mubarik Kuol Kech, Ismael Duob Deng, and others of great teachers in our District.

    Please, i want you to ignore differences with your brothers politicians, plus some of people who want your government to be change in our current state ” Unity state”, they were in charge during the war and they failed to work fairly for our state union, that for the best development of our state

    To all critics of The Unity State Governer and the SPLM

    Did you guys know that from the yearly average of 2% oil revenue, Unity state would only get from 3-10 million dollars per annum, now you try to develop 7 large counties while trying to develop a centre city with that sort of Budget, Juba alone would need 100’s of billions of dollars to look like Khartoum or Cairo.

    You people who are countiously scrutanising the Governer do not even know how hard it would be able to budget 3 million dollars to facilate and create areas of economic growth.

    And I bet most of did not even know that South Sudan economic growth in the civil sectors is mostly funded by the World Bank via foreign direct investment(FDI).

    We have to rely on FDI for now, and that is the end of the story untill the 2011 referendum.

    Rambang Deng,

    Thanks for telling the truth about the Dinka-puppet, Taban and others who are only stomach-filling politicians. Salva Kiir will be the loser because he is wasting his time with these few puppet-Nuers who do not have powerful politcal base in Nuerland. It is self-evident Kiir is not political genius.

    Salva Kiir lost the Nuer’s public trust now because he only politically promotes the Nuers who kill Nuer women and children in Nuerland. The Greater Nuers now know Salva Kiir is against the Nuers as people of the Nuerland. This way, the only good Nuer to Salva Kiir and Dinkas is a dead Nuer or a Dinka-puppet Nuer politician. But who are “Jaang”really to Nuers? I know you know what that mean!!

    This is worse than what Jellaba is doing to south sudan. The colonialists used ’divide & rule’ in Africa and used mass murder to kill African population against itself. Now Kiir is trying the obscure poor policy against the Nuers. It will fail!! It is already detected. The good news is that the Greater Nuers would never be helpless victim in any situation. Let Salva Kiir and the Dinkas play with the fire. Only the most faint-hearted would burn to death.

    We all know Kiir and Dinkas do not appreciate a competitive educated Nuer who stands on his/her two feet and loves his people. Kiir only appreciates self-hating Nuers. That means the Dinkas do not want the real unity between the Nuer & Dinka. They only prefer weak and puppets. The bomshel & time-bomb are tiking for our Dinka Cousins!!
