Warri—URHIEPHRON community in Delta State, home town of the new Head of Service, HOS, Mr. Patrick Origho, has called on him to develop their community, by ensuring the reconstruction of the ruined Uhurie Road in Ughelli South  Local Government Area of the state before he vacates office.

The community, joined by neighbouring Egbo, Origho’s maternal community, also listed the development of educational infrastructures and employment of indigenes into the Delta civil service among priorities the new HOS must meet if he wants to retire home with honour.

The community made the demand when the community, friends and associates hosted Origho to a gathering to celebrate his elevation to HOS.

Chairman on the occasion and former External Relations Manager, Shell Petroleum Development Company, SPDC-West, Engr. Frank Efeduma, who made the disclosure, said expectations were high following the short term the HOS has to spend in office.

Efeduma said: “As the first HOS of Urhiephron extraction, you do not have much time to spend in this office considering your age now. So, you must make hay while the sun shines. You find that when you get to positions in Urhobo, most times, you just mind yourself and immediate family, and when you retire you are easily forgotten.”
