LAGOS SEPTEMBER 6TH (URHOBOTODAY)-Group under the aegis of E.K. Clark Solidarity For Good Governance has commended Delta State Governor, Rt (Hon) Sheriff Oborevwori for his  lofty achievements within hundred days as the Governor of the state.

The group  is of the opinion that  his achievements within a short period is  in consonance with his MORE agenda and promised to surpass the  achievements of his predecessor former Delta State Governor,  Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, adding that  it is   worthwhile to say that he started on a good note and should be celebrated and cheered up.
Extolling the achievements of Obovwori in a statement jointly  signed  by its Chairman, Barr.  (Sir) Efenudu, Secretary Comr. Lucky Edoh and Coordinator Prince Akpo Abugo,  the Group  disclosed that  in less than 100 days his   administration accorded premium to the welfare of civil servants and retirees, and also set machinery in motion for the much-desired people-oriented governance by making key appointments in which the three senatorial districts of the state were fully represented.

They explained that during   his 100 days in office, the Governor successfully intensified the improvement of infrastructure, resulting in the construction of over 117 kilometers of roads, bridges and approximately 85 kilometers of drainage systems across the state.

“Under his administration within this 100 days,  construction of roads, bridges and drainage projects were  distributed across the three Senatorial Districts of the state, along with over 400 projects inherited from the previous administration that are currently under execution.  A number of these projects have been completed and are ready for commissioning, while others are in their advanced and final stages of completion.

“We sincerely also applaud the attention is he giving to Warri the economic capital of Delta State which is dear to the ethnic nationalities of Delta South, Delta Central and beyond,” the Group who said their representatives went on  personal inspection of the projects across the state disclosed.

The Group applauded Oborevwori’s style of handling crisis in the state especially with the recent re-escalation of hostilities between Aladja and Ogbeh Ijoh  communities, adding that  his deployment of non-kinetic strategy in settling the crisis must be commended as it has given hope of more enduring peaceful co-existence  between the warring communities and other communities in the state.

They equally commended the way and manner in which his  administration handled the issue of palliatives in the state  to emolliate the hardship of the people  with respect to  removal of oil subsidy and increase in fuel prices.

“For instance, as part of measures to cushion the impact of fuel subsidy removal, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori rolled out palliatives for workers by increasing their salaries. The governor equally announced that the state’s 50,196  workforce will now work in shifts and from home. To caution their transport difficulties the introduction of electric vehicles is on the pipelines,” the Group stated.

They asserted that a 100 days is a very short time for meaningful assessment, but however maintained that for a man who hit the ground running from first day in office with  reasonable milestones  being  identified within the period under review,   the Governor of Delta State  is safe to say his morning has revealed how bright the rest of the day would be.

“These early achievements, in addition to the zeal and patriotism showcased by  his administration, within this short period, constitute a beacon of hope for better days ahead. This is in line with the aura of optimism that followed his divine enthronement and Deltans are hopeful to reap good governance and prosperity in the nearest future.

“Never the less, we implore the Governor  to do more in line with his  more Agenda and also appoint more competent and selfless persons as special assistant, senior special assistant, executive assistant and  board members whose appointment should match their profiles, so as to propel more achievements,” the Group appealed.
