LAGOS SEPTEMBER 1ST (URHOBOTODAY)-Delta State governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, and the national CAN President, Ayo Oritsejafor, in Warri, has predicted bright future for Delta State.
At an inter-denominational Thanksgiving Service held at the Living Faith Church, Warri to mark the 22nd anniversary of the state creation, Governor Uduaghan stated that the challenging days of the state were over for good, adding that the future of the state was brighter in the years ahead.
According to Uduaghan, despite the challenges that the state has encountered, Deltans deserves to celebrate peace and development being witnessed in the state.
“A state that was synonymous with violence before now is now known for peace,” the governor said at the service attended by eminent Deltans and former military administrators of the state.
He said that the state was moving fast and that developmental projects were going on in different parts of the state, stressing that the transformation of the Enerhen Junction would be replicated in other busy junctions in the state.
“I did promise and prayed to God that we are finishing strong and we will finish well and strong,” the governor stated and challenged the people of the state to use whatever position they are holding to work in the interest of the state and to the glory of God, even as he tasked all Deltans to work hard for the growth of the state, saying he alone cannot do it.
He said, “We have moved very fast in the last 22 years. Delta State is overcoming its challenges. The state is now the most peaceful in the country. We are moving on in terms of development. The image of Delta State is changing for good.”
The governor who had earlier taken the first reading from the book of Psalm 138: 1-8, added that as the Governor, I cannot do everything. If you have a responsibility, use it well for the good of Delta State. The future is brighter for the state than where we are coming from, but we all must work hard to achieve the greater dream for Delta State, created exactly 22 years ago.” Officiating at the Service, Pastor Oritsejafor said; “We have come a long way. 22 years is not a joke; Deltans must be grateful to God. There is bright future for the state.
