Omon-Julius Onabu in Asaba

Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has assured the people of Delta State, in his New Year message, that his administration will remain focused on sustainable development of the state through the instrumentality of his “M.O.R.E” governance blueprint.

He thanked the people for their support and encouragement since the inception of his administration, noting that such attitude would enable the government to do more.

The governor urged the people to continue to remain united, focused prayerful and peaceful as they step into 2024.

In a statement in Asaba by his Chief Press Secretary, Festus Ahon, the governor reiterated his administration’s commitment to sustainable development through quality and enhanced service delivery, expressing confidence that God would intervene in the affairs of the state for good this year.

While admitting that 2023 was a challenging year, Oborevwori noted that the year was also “very eventful” as God enabled his administration to make significant achievements in the past seven months.

Oborevwori said: “I appreciate immensely the unalloyed support and cooperation that our administration has enjoyed from Deltans; this has been a huge source of encouragement and strength to the government.

“I appreciate our collective resolve to continue to live together in peace in spite of the economic challenges our people are grappling with, especially with the removal of subsidy on petrol in the country.

“Given our modest strides in the past seven months, I have no doubt that, with the same level of cooperation from the good people of Delta State, we will achieve more in all facets of governance and development in the coming year.”

To demonstrate his readiness to hit the ground running in 2024, he said Delta was one of the first states in the country to sign the 2024 budget into law, noting that he was prepared for the onerous task of providing the people with good governance.

“Furthermore, our administration recorded huge milestones in just six months in office with the award of N78 billion contracts for flyovers, cloverleaf, pedestrian bridges and road expansion projects in Warri and Effurun area of the state to world class construction giant, Julius Berger Nigeria Plc.

“We have been doing our best to ensure that the developmental needs of the state are attended to by applying the level of prudence and fiscal discipline that the present challenges demand,” he explained.

He assured that Delta remains secure just as social services, including the provision of infrastructure, will be given adequate attention in the new year.
