Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori has reiterated the state government’s willingness to partner with the federal government for the overall socio-economic development of the state.
Governor Oborevwori disclosed this in his remarks at the inauguration of the reconstructed 9.6km Abraka-Oben Road and flag-off of reconstruction of failed portions of Abraka-Agbor Road (Phase 1) in Abraka, Ethiope East Local Government Area of the state.
Represented by the state Commissioner for Works (Highways and Urban Roads), Comrade Reuben Izeze, Governor Oborevwori said his administration remained irrevocably committed in its partnership with the President Bola Tinubu led federal government for the transformation of the state.
He said the Oborevwori governance philosophy believes that if the federal government succeeds it would dovetail in the success of the subnational governments.
He commended the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, for the initiative to reconstruct the all important access road from Abraka to Oben and called for the completion of the road to Benin.
In his remarks, Minister of Regional Development, Engr. Abubakar Momoh thanked the NDDC for heeding to President Tinubu’s directive to reconstruct section one of the road from Abraka – Oben.
While commending Governor Oborevwori for his interventions on federal roads in the state, the minister urged governors across the country to see interventionist agencies as partners in progress and not as competitors.
Chairman NDDC Governing Board, Mr. Chiedu Ebie commended the executive management for giving vent to the board’s directives.
