NUPENG PRESIDENT PERFORMS BURIAL RITES FOR LATE QUEEN REGINA AKPOREHA, LAUDS GOV. OKOWA ON SECURITY IN DELTA STATE

The President of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, Prince Williams Akporeha has commended the Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa on the relative peace in the state as a result of the security strategy of the state government.

Prince Akporeha stated this recently at Ozoro, Isoko North Local Government Area during the final traditional burial rites of late Queen Regina Akporeha.

Queen Regina who died at the age of 70 years, was the wife of the late Odiologbo of Onogbokor Kingdom, HRH Gideon Akporeha who died four years ago.

The NUPENG Chief explained that Governor Okowa must be commended for the initiating ‘Operation Delta Hawk’ security outfit in the state which has greatly reduced activities of criminal elements and restored relative peace across the state including the highways.

According to the NUPENG President, “we are all aware that insecurity is a major challenge in Nigeria today, but in Delta state, I must say that with what I have experienced so far and available public information, Delta stands shoulder high on the security gauge.”

“It is indeed very encouraging to envisage that the security situation in Delta state will continue to improve even as we countdown to the Yuletide season and beyond to enable businesses to thrive across state”.

Prince Williams Akporeha expressed hope that the state stands to reap a lot of benefits from a peaceful environment and urged Governor Okowa not to relent but devise further means to improve and attain enduring security to protect lives and property as well as to develop the economy of Delta state.

“Enduring security is key in the process of development and Governor Okowa is on the right track by using the instrumentality of Operation Delta Hawk to attain security to build the required confidence and attract private sector investors to Delta state”, the NUPENG President said .
