The Governor of Delta,
Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, on Sunday, reaffirmed his commitment to rendering
selfless service to Deltans.
The governor made this known while inaugurating five projects in
Isoko South and Isoko North Local Government Areas of the state.
The projects,
which were naugurated amid jubilation by the people, were Opute Hall, Ozoro; Ultra-Modern
Civic Centre, Uzere; Model Secondary School, Uzere; Students Hostel at the
Delta State University, Oleh Campus and Six three-bedroom bungalows for
visiting Lecturers also at the university.
"This
administration has always been on course; we have come to Isoko to inaugurate
some infrastructure development projects executed by Delta State Oil Producing
Communities Development Commission (DESOPADEC), an arm of government.
"We
are committed to providing adequate service to our people and we will remain
focused; as you can see, the amendment of the laws establishing DESOPADEC has
given room for more resources to go into provision of infrastructure.
"Several
communities in the oil-producing communities are feeling the impact of
governance.
"We
have inaugurated five projects and I am glad that all the agencies of
government are responding favourably to the needs of our various communities.
"Isoko
people are friends of my administration and we will do our best to keep to our
promises as evident with the projects executed across the state," he said.
The
Managing Director of DESOPADEC, Chief Askia Ogieh, commended Okowa for giving
government agencies the freedom to execute people-oriented programmes.
Prominent
Isoko citizens, including Prof. Abednego Ekoko, Mrs Cordelia Obaro, Mr.
Nicholas Areh and Dr Nelson Ejakpovi, thanked the governor for providing
enabling environment for democratic dividends to be provided.
