Delta State @ 33: Oyibode Extols Oborevwori, Salutes Deltans

As Delta State marks its 33rd anniversary, Olorogun (Hon) Vincent Ogheneruemu Oyibode, JP FCIA, the Executive Chairman of Udu Local Government Council, extends his heartfelt congratulations to the Executive Governor of Delta State, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, and to all Deltans. This milestone is a momentous occasion that not only celebrates the creation of the state but also its significant strides in development and governance.

Reflecting on Delta State’s progress over the years, Olorogun Oyibode underscored the achievements of the state under Governor Oborevwori’s leadership. He highlighted the introduction of the M.O.R.E Agenda Initiative as a critical driver of Delta State’s recent advancements. This initiative aims to facilitate meaningful development, create inclusive opportunities, implement impactful reforms, and enhance peace and security across the state.

The M.O.R.E Agenda, which stands for Meaningful Development, Opportunities for All, Reforms, and Enhanced Peace and Security, is a comprehensive framework designed to address the diverse needs of Delta State’s population. Under this initiative, the state has witnessed various developmental projects that aim to improve the quality of life for all residents. From infrastructure development to educational reforms, the Oborevwori-led administration is making significant strides in ensuring that Delta State continues on a path of sustainable growth.

Under Governor Oborevwori’s leadership, there has been a noticeable improvement in the socio-economic landscape of Delta State. The administration’s commitment to infrastructure development is evident in the numerous road construction projects, bridges, and public facilities that have been built or rehabilitated across the state. These projects are not just about physical structures; they are about connecting communities, fostering economic growth, and improving the overall standard of living for Deltans.

Moreover, the focus on inclusive opportunities has seen an increase in youth empowerment programs, skills acquisition initiatives, and support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). These efforts are aimed at creating a more inclusive economy where every Deltan, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to thrive.

Reforms have also been a significant part of Governor Oborevwori’s agenda. The administration has undertaken various reforms aimed at improving governance, enhancing transparency, and promoting accountability within the public sector. These reforms are crucial for building a more efficient and responsive government that truly serves the needs of its people.

In terms of peace and security, Delta State has experienced relative calm under the current administration. Efforts to strengthen security have included collaboration with community leaders, security agencies, and other stakeholders to ensure a safe and secure environment for all residents. This focus on security has helped to attract investors and foster economic development in the state.

As Delta State celebrates its 33rd anniversary, it is also an opportunity to reflect on the journey that began on August 27, 1991, when the state was created alongside others during the military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida. Since then, Delta State has grown in leaps and bounds, overcoming numerous challenges to emerge as a key player in Nigeria’s socio-economic and political landscape.

Olorogun Oyibode’s congratulatory message serves as a reminder of the progress that has been made and the potential that lies ahead. His message emphasizes that the 33rd anniversary of Delta State is not just a celebration of the past, but also a moment to look forward to a future filled with promise and potential under the dynamic leadership of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.

As Deltans reflect on the State’s journey over the past 33 years, it is clear that the Oborevwori-led administration is committed to driving Delta State towards a future of sustainable development and prosperity. The M.O.R.E Agenda Initiative is a testament to this commitment, and with continued support and collaboration from all stakeholders, Delta State is poised to achieve even greater heights in the years to come.
