Oborevwori committed to balanced development across Delta -- Aniagwu ~ Truth Reporters

By Andy Emephia

The State government , under the watch of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, will remain committed to fairness , equity , and balanced development across Delta State

In line with this policy, the MORE Agenda is being implemented in such a way that every part of the state will be impscted

Therefore, Governor Oborevwori is ensuring that all 25 local government areas, the 10 federal  constituencies, as well as the three Senatorial districts , benefit from government projects

Reacting to recent criticisms from a section of the lsoko nation over alleged marginalisation by the Oborevwori administration, Commissioner for Works ( Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu  at a press conference in Asaba, said that in the last two years , Governor Oborevwori has demonstrated fairness across all divides in the state

While noting that it is the right of citizens to make demands on their government, such demands should acknowledge the progress already made , rather than suggest that nothing is being done

Stating that there is hardly any meeting of the State Executive Council ( EXCO) where projects are not approved for lsoko, Aniagwu appealed to critics to avoid what he described as "dirty politics" as the 2027 election season approaches

Citing the recent approval of the Ogodogo-Ivu Access road in Okpolo-Enhwe, lsoko South local government area at a cost of #5.1 billion,  the Commissioner listed several other road projects completed or ongoing , to include Otekpo road in Ellu, internal roads in lsoko south , the Uzere-Asaba-Ase Bridge, the lsoko Ring Road linking multiple communities, Emede internal roads , the Enuru-Ikuli Access road, the Uruaka Express link road in Emede, the Olomoro-Igbide Road, the Emevor-Orogun Road  Phase 1 and ongoing Phase 2, as well as Okpolo-Enhwe Internal Roads Phases 1 and 2, in addition to portions of the reconstructed Ughelli-Asaba dualized road that traverse lsoko nation

Aniagwu further reiterated that lsoko remains the only federal constituency in the state hosting two state owned  Universities, the Southern Delta University , Ozoro, and the Oleh Campus of Delta State University , Abraka, which houses the faculties of Law and Engineering,

Said Aniagwu: "Under Governor Oborevwori, the State has completed the  College of Medical Sciences at Southern Delta University , completed the Senate Building and internal roads at the Ozoro Campus , established the College of Health Technology in Ovrode, and equipped the General Hospital in Ozoro"

He added that within just one year in office , the Governor had visited lsoko twice to inaugurate projects , underscoring his commitment to the area

Aniagwu urged lsoko people to rejoice when projects are executed elsewhere , just as it is expected that others should rejoice when lsoko benefits, stressing that the Oborevwori administration will remain fair to all

On the looming flood threat predicted across the country, the Public Information Commissioner disclosed that the state is already desilting drainages and water channels to mitigate the impact
