By Hezekiah Ovedhe.
A stalwart of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Aviara, Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State, Hon Oreva Olodia has given kudos to the State Governor on his performance over the last one year in office as a Governor.
Hon. Olodia stated this while rating the Governor’s performance since he assumed office on the 29th of May 2023, noting that: “Expectations of Deltans were high, and in all sincerity, he (Governor) has done excellently well in all ramifications”
He said:“Having listened to the Governor’s speech during his inauguration on May 29th, 2023, he did mention the fact that, he is definitely going to do MORE for Deltans. MORE in terms of meaningful development that will cut across the entire 25 Local Government Areas of Delta State.
“He also promised MORE opportunity for every single Deltans. And he also said there would be realistic reforms. You know the security and welfare of the citizens are primary assignments of Governor. He also promised that there will be an enhanced peace across all parts of the state. And in the past one year, a good observant will know that the Governor has kept to his promise.
“Top among some of his achievements are the four flyovers contracts in the Effurun-Warri areas which he awarded to Julius Berger for 78bilion naira. From 1999 in this nascent democracy, we have been celebrating, no Governor has brought Julius Berger to Delta State but the Governor, His Excellency Rt. Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, thought it wise that Julius Berger is a reputable firm that can deliver major roads( infrastructural projects) in Delta State. As I am talking to you, work is on-going. The contractor is working seriously to achieve the time line of that project.
“When the Governor, came in, he inherited some on-going projects. By the Grace of God, in commemoration of his one year anniversary in the next one week or thereabout, the Governor will be going about commissioning different projects across the State”, he added.
He further said: “From the analysis so far, I am confident that the people are very happy with the activities of Rt. Hon Sheriff Oborevwori led government and Deltans are still expecting MORE from him.
“All I am appealing to His Excellency is that, as a youth- friendly Governor that he is, he should ensure that all members of the waterways security across the 25 local government areas to be appointed should be youths. This is because, security job is for the youths. It’s only the youths who can secure our waterways just like the surveillance jobs that are given to youths. With this, the Governor will curb youth restiveness since they engaged. That will give them sense of belonging as well, he concluded.
