As Delta State Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa marks his 57th birthday, the immediate past Chairman of Udu Local Government Council of Delta and a Board Member  of Delta Development and Property Authority (DDPA), Chief Raymond Edijala has described him as a great visionary administrator.

Speaking with correspondents on his arrival from a conference on organizational behaviour in the United Kingdom, Edijala disclosed that Okowa’s successful implementation of his SMART Agenda    in the face of low revenue receipts is legendary which has put him ahead of other governors, adding that the agenda has    not only    touched on the lives of  Deltans, but had also conformed with the United Nation’s eight characteristics of good governance which    are consensus oriented, participatory, following the rule of law, effectiveness and efficiency, accountability, transparency, responsiveness and equity and inclusiveness.

He maintained that in  Okowa’s  steady progress as visionary leader   those  who knew him a long time ago would  testify to how he rode on the back of humility through all his professional and political career to his present status as Governor of Delta State.

He therefore wished the Governor and his family prosperous years ahead  and urged Deltans to give him the needed support
