South Korea's state-run Land and Housing Corporation is offering
investments and technical cooperation in the oil-rich Niger Delta,

and appeal to President Umaru Yar'Adua's efforts to win
hearts and minds following his amnesty offer to Delta militants
in October. On 1 December in Abuja, Vice-President Goodluck
Jonathan received a delegation from the Corporation. The presidency
said the Koreans had offered to 'partner with the Nigerian government
in the development of new towns and civil infrastructure', and
were 'also willing to assist in establishing water purification
plants'.
