URHOBO YOUTH LEADERS’ ASSOCIATION APPLAUDS OBOREVWORI’S INFRASTRUCTURE DRIVE

The Urhobo Youth Leaders’ Association (UYLA) has lauded Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Francis Orohwedor Oborevwori, for approving over ₦200 billion in infrastructure and development projects aimed at transforming Delta State.

In a commendation statement signed by UYLA’s National President, Olorogun (Amb.) Samuel Onoriode Oghotomo (JP), and National Secretary, Olorogun (Dr.) Augustine Ogheneovo Atiti, the group described the Governor’s approval—granted during the State Executive Council meeting held on Tuesday, July 22, 2025—for the construction of two major flyovers at Uromi Junction in Ika and Otowodo Junction in Ughelli North, as a bold and commendable step toward sustainable development.

According to UYLA, the projects—including extensive road construction, provision of hospital equipment, electricity expansion, and several other key initiatives aligned with the Governor’s MORE agenda—are expected to ease traffic congestion and stimulate economic activities across the state.

The group praised the Ukodo of Okpe Kingdom as “a man of few words but massive action,” stressing that the flyovers will not only improve transportation but also enhance connectivity and promote overall progress.

UYLA called on all Deltans to support the Governor’s vision and maintain peace to ensure the smooth and timely execution of these transformational projects.
