To tackle youth restiveness in the country, Mr. Eddy Ogidi-Gbegbaje,  Permanent Secretary Government House and Protocol, has urged youths to acquire vocational and entrepreneurial skills so as to be self employed.

The Permanent Secretary made the call on Wednesday, October 9, 2019, during the send-forth ceremony of the 2018 National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) Batch C Stream 1 members who served in the Directorate.

According to him as vibrant youths, there is no time to waste waiting for white-collar jobs, rather acquire vocational skills which will enable you to become self-sufficient and in turn, become productive members of society.

There is so much you can offer as there are so many entrepreneurial and vocational skills to be learnt and with any skill you acquire you can be rest assured that you will become wealth creators which will in turn, boost the economy of the state and the nation".

Responding on behalf of the corps members Mr. Toki Anthony thanked the permanent Secretary, management, and staff of the Directorate for giving them a conducive working environment.

He assured the Permanent Secretary that they will be good ambassadors of the state and work hard to become productive members of society.

The highpoint of the occasion was the presentation of gifts to the corp members by top officials of the Directorate.

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...

On Friday, May 31st, during the funeral service for the Late Asagba of Asaba, the essence of true leadership was vividly displayed. The service featured the introduction of various dignitaries, including Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation who represented President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
