Rivers: BOCCIMA To Hold Investment, Tourism Expo

The Bonny Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (BOCCIMA) is set to hold the first Bonny Investment and Tourism Expo (BITE) with the theme: “Bonny Island – A Nexus for Commerce, Culture, and Tourism.”

BOCCIMA president, Mrs. Constance Nwokejiobi, disclosed this yesterday while briefing journalists at the Ernest Ikoli Press Centre in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

Nwokejiobi described the BITE 2025 expo as a bold and strategic initiative to celebrate the beauty, potential, and abundant opportunity embedded in Bonny Island.

She said, “This bold and strategic initiative celebrates the beauty, potential, and abundant opportunity embedded in Bonny Island. This project is not coincidental with the 60th birthday of His Majesty, King Edward Asimini William Dappa Pepple III, the Amanyanabo of the Ancient Grand Bonny Kingdom and Grand Patron of the Bonny Chamber of Commerce.

“Rather, it is a deliberate alignment with His Majesty’s lifelong vision to see Bonny thrive through sustainable development.
