The Director-General of Delta State Orientation and Communications Bureau, Dr Fred Oghenesivbe has again highlighted the accomplishments of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, describing his MORE Agenda as people-focused.
Speaking to journalists in Lagos, Dr Oghenesivbe disclosed that Governor Oborevwori has been working to ensure the safety of life and property, growing the state economy, and upscaling infrastructure development.
He noted that Governor Oborevwori’s selfless service was indeed resonating with Deltans, adding that as the first Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly to become Governor, he has been working tirelessly to fulfil his campaign promises, aimed at advancing Delta.
Oghenesivbe posited that as a pragmatic leader and seasoned democrat, Governor Oborevwori, before proceeding on vacation, effortlessly transmitted power to his deputy, Sir Monday Onyeme, to act on his behalf.
Transmitting power, according to the Bureau DG, showed that Governor Oborevwori adhered to the rule of law, protects the supremacy of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and demonstrates uncommon openness and integrity, while also working harmoniously with his deputy.
He said the state was progressively transiting to greater heights in all sectors of the economy. ‘’Hard times are here and they are occasioned by hyperinflation and weak Naira, but Governor Oborevwori is skillfully navigating the storm, and managing the state economy to the admiration of the people. “Infrastructure development, education, health, youth empowerment, job and health creation, as well as huge financial support for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), are receiving attention regularly.
“The agricultural sector is growing rapidly due to his timely intervention and financial assistance to farmers through the provision of farm implements, fertilizer, and seedlings”, Oghenesivbe added.
Under the D-CARES programme, he said, 208,000 farmers have benefited from the state intervention, and an additional 2,000 farmers would soon be empowered as a result of the N1bn counterpart fund by the State government under the AUDA/NEPAD partnership.
“In addition to prudent management of resources, governor Oborevwori is also focused on the payment of legitimate loans obtained by the previous administration.”
