Egukawhore Hosts Oborevwori

Chairman of Dewayles Group of Companies, Chief Victor Egukawhore, on Thursday hosted the Governor of Delta State, Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, at his Okpolo/Enhwe residence in Isoko South Local Government Area.

Egukawhore, who is into oil and gas industry, thanked the governor for siting projects in Isoko nation especially the newly completed Okpolo/Enhwe/Uwheru road constructed by Emorock Concept Limited, an indigenous company, which the governor inaugurated.

Egukawhore said, “Today is a very happy moment not just for me as an individual but for the people of Isoko nation. We saw the road the governor just commissioned in the locality here, it’s a thing of pride for us. Under 100 days of the governor in office he chose our locality as one of the sites for one of the major projects that he came to commission today. So it’s a very happy moment for all of us.

“We talked about so many things. I did mention to the governor that he should be ready for more project commissioning. His visit today is significant for us and an indication that he’s ready for the development of the state, because I’m going to partner with the state in terms of quality contributions on projects, and need a lot of his support to be able to contribute my fair share to Delta State.”

He described the governor’s 100 days in office as “miraculous” because of the number of projects the governor executed in the state with several of them in Isoko nation.

“It’s miraculous because other than the projects he’s commissioning now he has done much more. If you follow the news trend you’ll see the various projects he has approved for execution, and over 60 per cent of those projects are in the hub, in Warri, which every one of us are part of. You know Warri is a major city in the state – if he has the aspiration to bring Warri back to limelight as an oil city, I’m very proud of that.”

Earlier, while inaugurating the newly completed Okpolo/Enhwe/Uwheru Road, Governor Oborevwori expressed satisfaction with the quality job done by Emorock Concept Limited, promising to deepen partnership with the firm for road and other infrastructural development.

The governor lauded Egukawhore as a committed individual who is passionate about infrastructural development not only of his community but that of the state and vowed to explore areas to work together.

The Commissioner for Works, Rural Development, Charles Aniagwu, while appraising the quality of the road done by Emorock said the “people of Okpolo/Enhwe are happy with quality of job done, and the development High Chief Wayles is attracting to the community.”

He added that the Okpolo/Enhwe/Uwheru Road is one of the three phases of road in Okpolo/Enhwe and that the road with good drainage will mitigate the flooding in the community.

Earlier, the President General of Okpolo/Enhwe Community, Comrade Kennedy Idolor, canvassed for bigger projects to be given to Emorock Concept Limited by the state government as they have shown integrity and capability in road delivery.

Other notable personalities at the meeting include Deputy Governor, Chief Monday Onyeme, Delta State Chairman of PDP, Olorogun Kingsley Esisio and many others.
