ASABA—GOVERNOR Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has appointed former Director-General of the Direct Labour Agency, DLA, Mr Festus Agas, as the Secretary to Delta State Government.

The governor, yesterday, at a reception organised in his honour after a thanksgiving service held at St. Philip’s Anglican Church, Asaba, said that the appointment of Mr. Agas takes immediate effect signalling the commencement of political appointments for his administration.

Agas, who hails from Oteri-Ughelli, was elected into the state House of Assembly to represent Ughelli North constituency II in 1999 and was re-elected in 2003, within which period he was elected Deputy Speaker of the state House of Assembly.

Okowa, at the reception, thanked Deltans for believing and trusting him and his Deputy, Mr Kingsley Otuaro, assuring: “In all that we do, we will look at the common good of all.”
