CELEBRATING DELTAN EXCELLENCE: Ovie Omo-Agege's Homecoming



On March 30, 2024, Sir Sunny Areh, Co-Chairman of the Media Committee, announced Senator Ovie Omo-Agege's Homecoming through a press release.

The homecoming of Obarisi, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, CFR, following his meritorious service as the Deputy Senate President of Nigeria, marks a significant milestone in Delta State's political landscape. As the first Deltan to hold such a high legislative office, the event symbolizes not only Omo-Agege's personal achievements but also the collective pride and aspirations of the people of Delta State. 

Let's explore the significance of Omo-Agege's homecoming reception and its implications for Delta State and Nigeria as a whole.

Ovie Omo-Agege's tenure as the Deputy Senate President was characterized by unwavering commitment, dedication, and leadership.

As a Deltan, Omo-Agege's elevation to such a prominent position in the national legislature exemplifies the talent, competence, and capability inherent within the state.

Omo-Agege is widely acknowledged as one of the foremost sponsors of bills and motions during his tenure in the National Assembly. His exceptional legislative record began in 2016 with the drafting and skilful promotion of the Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun (FUPRE) Establishment Act. Through meticulous collaboration with his colleagues and the executive branch, he not only provided a robust legal framework for the institution but also bestowed upon it the distinguished status of a 'strategic national asset' within Nigeria's oil and gas sector. This remarkable achievement, though often overlooked, demonstrates his unparalleled resourcefulness in legislative endeavours.

Senator Ovie Omo-Agege significantly impacted the State through several key projects, such as the establishment of the Federal Polytechnic in Orogun, a centre of innovation for modern research, the Federal Medical University in Utagba-Ogbe, and the ongoing dualization of the Sapele-Agbor Road, demonstrating a commitment to infrastructure development and enhancing access to education and healthcare. These initiatives, alongside numerous other major projects, underscore his dedication to advancing the welfare and prosperity of the state.

The homecoming reception for Ovie Omo-Agege, therefore, serves as a testament to Deltan excellence and resilience. It celebrates the achievements of a son of Delta State who has excelled on the national stage, demonstrating the state's capacity to produce leaders of exceptional calibre. Moreover, Omo-Agege's success should inspire the youth of Delta State to aspire to greater heights and contribute meaningfully to national development.

The reception for Ovie Omo-Agege underscores the political significance of Delta State in the Nigerian political landscape. It reaffirms the state's relevance and influence at the national level, showcasing its ability to produce leaders who can compete and excel on the national stage. Furthermore, Omo-Agege's homecoming reception strengthens the political capital of Delta State, positioning it as a key player in national politics and governance.

The homecoming reception for Ovie Omo-Agege should foster unity and solidarity among Deltans, regardless of political affiliations. It provides an opportunity for the people of Delta State to come together, celebrate their shared heritage, and rally behind a common cause – the advancement of the state's interests at the national level. Omo-Agege's reception transcends partisan divides, uniting Deltans in a spirit of pride and solidarity.

Ovie Omo-Agege's homecoming reception should leave a lasting legacy and serve as an inspiration for future generations of Deltans.

Omo-Agege's journey from Delta State to the Deputy Senate Presidency serves as a beacon of hope and possibility for aspiring leaders within the state and beyond.

The homecoming reception for Ovie Omo-Agege following his tenure as the Deputy Senate President of Nigeria is a momentous occasion for Delta State. It celebrates Deltan excellence, political significance, unity, and solidarity, while also leaving a lasting legacy of inspiration for future generations.

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...
