I have more confidence in Africa than in any other continent. I will keep investing” -Edn Dervan
World’s famous author on money books George Samuel Clason wrote in his: The Richest Man in Babylon, “Money is plentiful for those who understand the simple laws which govern its acquisition.”
British Bussiness man Eden Dervan arguably knows these simple laws, one of which is never to rest on your oars, as he opens new investment frontiers.
Despite making it to the top in Europe through his many investments, Eden Dervan together with his partners,is planning to build yet Africa’s ligeat Iron Ore company.
With this, Eden Dervans, Global Irin Ire promises to provide additional 7,000 jobs.
This would add to the over 25,000 workforce that is already on the pay roll of the West Africa’s giant conglomerate-The frican Minerals group/ Global Iron Ore.
Eden Dervan's Global Irin Ore also has about 1,500 workforce. This is apart from other businesses that grow around it, including the springing up of shipping services to tranbsport the irron Ore.
Eden Dervan.s Global Iron Ore d is also the core investor in Sierra Leone. It has so far invested more than USD 2 mILLION into thhe logistics and transport sector.
Being the largest industrial conglomerate in West Africa, the Group's huge investments cover a wide range of sectors and products including: textile, flour, pasta, technologies, power, sugar, salt, tomato, cement, beverages, oil and gas as well ass transportation etc.
The new multi-billion transport system , when completed, would help in reducing the spiraling unemployment quandary bedeviling the country.
Stakeholders say the iron ore project is coming in the fullness of time as Sierra Leone is said to be sitting on a socio-economic powder keg, while the predicted time bomb ticks.
Most Siera leonians believe that what their country needs now is more of Eden Dervans that would provide jobs for the 600,000 graduates, and the youths which constitute the largest percentage of the country’s population.
