Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has said that his administration would provide employment, execute people-oriented projects and ensure that people participate actively in governance.
Oborevwori gave the assurance on Tuesday at the Inauguration of projects executed by the Chairman of Ukwuani Local Government Area, Hon. Possible Ajede.
The projects were inaugurated by the immediate past Governor of Delta State, Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, and they include an ultra-modern market in Amai, a modern Palace for Okpala-Uku in Obiaruku and a befitting Legislative Arm Office Complex in Obiaruku.
The governor who was represented by his Deputy, Sir Monday Onyeme, stated that it was a thing of joy to witness the inauguration of projects executed by the Council Chairman.
According to Oborevwori, “I am happy because local govenment councils in our dear State have embraced the culture of executing people-oriented projects as the tier of government that is closer to the people at the grassroots.
“The people are happy with these projects because they are need-based projects in line with my administration’s agenda of giving M.O.R.E, to the people.”
He observed that few days ago during the Joint Account Allocation Committee, JAC. meeting in Asaba, 22 local government councils got approval to recruit primary school teachers, clerical officers and watchmen.
“Apart from creating job opportunities, with this recruitment, the challenges of lack of teachers in our primary schools will be put to rest,” the governor added.
Oborevwori commended the Chairmen of local government councils in the State for their desire and commitment to delivering democratic dividends to the people at the grassroots.
While urging all those who would make use of the facilities to ensure that they were well maintained for them to stand the text of time, Oborevwori congratulated Barr. Possible Ajede for leading the council to construct the projects.
Sen. Dr. Okowa, before inaugurating the projects, called on Deltans to continuously support those in government because they will be giving MORE to the people.
While particularly thanking the people of Ukwuani for their support, the former Governor urged Deltans to remain peaceful and support the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP-led government of Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori.
The Chairman of Ukwuani Local Government Council, Hon. Possible Ajede, in an address, disclosed that the market that was inaugurated comprises 313 stores, 10 lockup stores with toilet facilities.
