DR. UDUAGHAN TAKES “DELTA BEYOND OIL” MESSAGE TO THE UNITED STATES



Delta State Governor, Dr Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan

ASABA MARCH 7TH -The Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan has taken the message of Delta Beyond Oil to the United States to solicit the support of foreign partners and institutions for the initiative.

Scheduled to speak at the Roosevelt Public Policy Institute in New York on the topic,“Perspectives on Sustainable Development in Delta State: Delta Beyond Oil” on the 7th of March, 2014, Governor Uduaghan has remained a strong advocate for the diversification of the State’s economy as being crucial for the State’s sustainable development.

 Earlier, the Governor has been a guest to the United States Department of State and the John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), both in Washington,DC., USA, where he articulated the vision of the current administration of the State for a Delta beyond Oil. The initiative has continued to spur substantial foreign interests in the non-oil and gas sectors of the Delta State’s economy, especially tourism, health and education.

Speaking about the event scheduled for March 7 at the Roosevelt Public Policy Institute in New York, the Senior Adviser (Foreign Relations) to the Governor, Hon. Oma Djebah, stated that “it is very reassuring to learn that foreign institutions like the prestigious Roosevelt Centre are offering their platforms to help resonate the Delta beyond Oil message as canvassed by His Excellency, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan. The support of some of our foreign friends and partners has rekindled our hope for a sustainable future in Delta State, and this demonstrates a growing global endorsement for Governor Uduaghan’s vision for a Delta beyond Oil.”

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
