The President of the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE), Mr Eze Anaba, has commended the Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta, for the “real and measurable development” across the state.
Anaba made the remark after a guided tour of projects in the state
“From all indications, Governor Oborevwori is not just making promises; he is implementing policies that touch the lives of ordinary citizens.
”We have seen some very impressive road networks that are very fitting of this environment,” Anaba said.
He added that the state’s investment in social protection initiatives, public sector reform, and massive road infrastructure collectively painted a picture of a state moving steadily towards sustainable progress.
“This is what meaningful development is all about. People should feel government. Government should have impact in the lives of people,” Anaba emphasised.
Anaba expressed delight at the impressive road networks and infrastructure development in the state, including schools, flyover bridges, and technical colleges.
“We can only give Delta Government kudos and pray that this will continue for the enjoyment of the people,” he said.
Also, the former Presidential Spokesman and Arise News Anchor, Dr Reuben Abati, also spoke during the tour, expressing delight at the revitalisation of Technical Colleges in the State.
“I was particularly impressed to see that we now have functioning Technical Colleges in states like Delta.
”This is a crucial component of the national education curriculum developing middle-level manpower with technical skills,” Abati said.
Abati further remarked on the disconnect between public perception and on-ground development, saying, “many people who live in Abuja or Lagos don’t really see what’s happening in their home states.
”Some claim to be from these areas but rarely visit, so they are unaware of the progress being made.
”I believe the government must do more to publicize its projects and achievements. ”
Abati commended the governor for the giants stride recorded in the first two years of his administration.
“I would like to tell Governor Sheriff Oborevwori that what he is doing aligns with the mandate given to him by the people.
”The only reward for hard work is more work. He should remain committed to doing even more for the people of Delta State, ” he added.
The State Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, commended the editors for visiting Delta and emphasised the need for an objective assessment of the progress recorded so far.
“The Oborevwori administration remains committed to improving the living standards of the people by delivering quality infrastructure,” Aniagwu said.
