As
part of the second-year anniversary in office, His Excellency Dr. Ifeanyi
Arthur Okowa has decided to hold town hall meetings across the State to present
his two years score card to the people of Delta State
The
first leg, which took the Governor to Isoko North local government area was a
major success, as the people trooped out in their numbers to welcome and listen
to Senator Okowa.
The
Governor who was well received by the people wasted no time in listing his achievements
within two years in the midst of acute economic recession. The Governor
explained that the State is burdened with huge recurrent expenditure, which is
almost outweighing resources for capital projects. In all, the administration has
continued to work so hard to prudently manage the State resources to deliver
substantial dividends of democracy.
Governor
Okowa also used the opportunity of being in Isoko North to flag off the second
phase of free eye test and surgery, a people focused health programme designed
to bring back smile on the faces of some Deltans with glaucoma; blurred vision
and partial blindness. He also commissioned several projects and went around to
inspect other ongoing projects.
The
people of Delta State are hereby encouraged to be part of the exercise and
should use the opportunity offered by the town hall meetings to clear issues
with which they have doubts and also make their inputs into governance. There
is no doubt that this interaction will enhance the quality of governance in the
State.
