SUSTAINING DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT BORROWING: Governor Oborevwori’s Commitment to Fiscal Responsibility

In the past 16 months, Delta State has witnessed remarkable growth and progress under the leadership of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori. Amidst an era where borrowing has become the norm for financing public projects, Governor Oborevwori’s administration has chosen a different path—demonstrating fiscal discipline by avoiding debt to fund the state’s initiatives. This approach has not only ensured that ongoing and completed projects are financed responsibly, but it also positions Delta State as an example of sustainable governance.

Governor Oborevwori’s administration has undertaken ambitious infrastructural projects across the state’s three senatorial districts, addressing critical needs and enhancing the well-being of its citizens. These projects, which span sectors such as healthcare, education, transportation, and utilities, have been implemented to meet the unique needs of each district, while also supporting the economic growth of Delta State as a whole. From road constructions and educational facility improvements to healthcare advancements and water projects, the administration has actively focused on transformative development.

Despite the scope and scale of these projects, the Delta State Government has ensured that contractors are paid promptly. Governor Oborevwori’s commitment to timely payments has instilled confidence in contractors, encouraging them to complete projects with efficiency and quality. This approach fosters trust between the government and its partners, a dynamic often strained in other regions where delayed payments hinder project completion. By adhering to a payment schedule that respects the contractual obligations with its contractors, the administration promotes transparency and financial accountability, solidifying its reputation as a responsible steward of public funds.

Governor Oborevwori is determined to maintain this standard of fiscal discipline and operational efficiency. By resisting the allure of borrowing and instead leveraging the state’s resources wisely, he has set a precedent for prudent governance. His administration’s approach underscores the value of sustainable development, proving that it is possible to advance without accumulating debt. In a time when economic pressures have pushed many states into substantial debt, Delta State's approach stands out as a beacon of fiscal responsibility and innovative governance.

This commitment to a debt-free development strategy showcases Governor Oborevwori’s dedication not only to current growth but also to the future prosperity of Delta State. His administration’s policies serve as a model for other regions, illustrating that with effective resource management and strategic planning, sustainable development can be achieved without compromising financial stability. As Delta State continues on this path, it holds the promise of long-term growth and improved quality of life for all its residents.

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.
