A member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Francis Ejiroghene Waive, has expressed deep appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, for their significant contributions to infrastructure and healthcare development in Delta State.

Speaking on the floor of the House during plenary, Hon. Waive, who represents Ughelli North, Ughelli South, and Udu Federal Constituency of Delta State, rose under personal explanation to acknowledge the signing into law of his bill establishing the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Ovwian, Udu Local Government Area.

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the millions of people in my constituency to thank the President and Commander-in-Chief for graciously signing into law the bill establishing the Federal Medical Centre in Ovwian,” he said.

He further commended the President for appointing one of their own, Professor Kingsley Akaba, a renowned professor of Hematology at the University of Calabar, as the pioneer Chief Medical Director of the newly created medical centre.

“My people are overjoyed. We say thank you, Mr. President, for this great honour,” Waive added.

In the same breath, he lauded the ongoing reconstruction of the Asaba–Benin dual carriageway, describing it as a much-needed intervention that will ease transportation and boost economic activities across Delta and neighbouring states.

The lawmaker also praised Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, for his aggressive road and bridge construction projects across the state. 

He particularly cited the Asaba–Ughelli Road project, noting that over 150 km of the stretch have already been completed to high standards.

“That road is now one of the best in the country. Governor Oborevwori is truly working. He is building roads and bridges across Delta. We are not left behind,” he declared.

Hon. Waive used the opportunity to endorse both President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori for second terms, citing their impactful leadership and delivery of democratic dividends.

“I am proud to serve this nation, and I am indeed grateful to be a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC). I thank Mr. Speaker for this opportunity,” he added.
