In view of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s infrastructure and human capital development drive, a prominent Chief in Onicha-Uku Kingdom, Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State, Chief Engr. Iwebunor Osakwe, yesterday, said Governor Oborevwori’s performance in governance didn’t come to Deltans as a surprise.

Iwebunor, who spoke on the sideline of the Governor’s one year in office, noted that since Governor Oborewovri came on board, Delta State has a semblance of a construction site considering the many ongoing as well as completed projects spread across the state.

He said : “ Invariably, Governor Sherrif has decided to work on the infrastructure of Delta State, particularly areas like Warri and Effurun. We know that for the past 24 years that civilian rule was restored, Warri has not been properly attended to. And he did say during his inaugural speech that he will attend to Warri in order to restore the twin city of Effurun and Warri to their hitherto lost glory.

“Last year October, he took a concrete step by awarding three mega projects to Julius Berger to handle the flyover at Enerhen Juntion, PTI Junction and Effurun. And as we speak, the work is ongoing.

“ One of the basis for bringing these construction giants is to ensure that Deltans have value for their money. And of course, given the track record, expertise and competence of Julius Berger, nothing less will be delivered.

“In addition, the Governor launched the MORE Grant Scheme for petty traders, artisans and female entrepreneurs with 5,426 persons from poor and vulnerable households in the state benefitting. Infrastructure development and human capital development are vital aspect of governance in any clime. Clearly, our governor came prepared and we are happy with his exceptional performance within this one year.”

Speaking further, Chief Osakwe thanked Deltans for their unwavering support for the Governor Oborevwori’s administration and urged all to sustain the support beyond 2027.

While congratulating the Governor on his one year in office, he thanked him for making governance look easy, and prayed that God would enrich him with developmental initiatives to transform Delta and make it the envy of other states.
