Delta State’s Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, stated on Wednesday that the legacy projects initiated by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori are effectively addressing critics in the state.

During a recent inspection of the ongoing stormwater management project aimed at alleviating flooding in the areas of Okuokoko, Ugolo-Okpe, Osubi, and surrounding communities, Aniagwu expressed confidence in the governor’s commitment to implementing impactful initiatives for the benefit of the citizens.

Accompanied by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, and senior officials from the ministry, Aniagwu commented, “In my previous address to the media, I remarked that the governor’s focus is on responding to criticism by launching additional projects.”

He emphasized, “What we are witnessing here is another testament to his dedication to establishing enduring legacies through substantial development across all 25 local government areas in our state.”

The commissioner elaborated, “This specific project involves a storm drainage system designed to manage excess rainwater and mitigate flooding issues in Ugolo-Okpe, Okuokoko, Osubi, and neighboring areas. Previously, these communities experienced significant flooding even during minor downpours, often leading to homes being inundated.”

He further referenced ongoing efforts in Asaba, stating, “Just as we are addressing flooding in this area, the governor is also tackling similar issues in Asaba. Recently, we visited storm drainage constructions leading from Ogbeogonogo Market into the River Niger, as well as initiatives to enhance the waterfront in Asaba.

“These projects represent meaningful developments for our community. The underground storm drainage is currently in place, and in just a week, the area’s condition will have improved significantly.”

Aniagwu also conducted an inspection of the Esezi Road dualization and flood control measures near Orerokpe, as well as along the Orerokpe – Okuloho – Oviri-Okpe – Aragba Road. He urged contractors to expedite their work to make the most of the dry season ahead of anticipated heavy rains.

“Recently, Governor Oborevwori made it clear that he will not compromise the quality of project delivery for personal relationships. This means that all contractors must adhere strictly to the specifications outlined in our Bill of Engineering Measurement and Evaluation,” he stated.

He concluded by urging teams to increase their pace, asserting the importance of completing projects swiftly to prevent disruption during heavy rainfall. “What you see here is another example of Governor Oborevwori addressing his critics with yet another significant legacy project.”

Oborevwori: Ensuring value for Delta’s projects

    Few appointees of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State ever anticipated that project inspections would feature on a Sunday itinerary. However, that was exactly what happened last Sunday when, after church service, the Governor embarked on an unscheduled inspection of projects within Asaba and its environs.

    At the proposed Asaba International Market, Governor Oborevwori assured that the state would experience accelerated project delivery in 2025. He noted that the site which was formerly the Abraka Market, had become a hotspot for criminal activities, before the state government relocated the market to Oko.

    “The State Government decided to relocate the market to Oko and we have made arrangements with Efab Properties Limited to develop this place.

    “The state government is getting 20 percent because we are providing land and they are to build and allocate but we will get 20 percent from it and it’s something that we encourage”, he said.

    At the Asaba Waterfront City Project, on Tuesday, Governor Oborevwori, said that it was conceived by the previous administration through a Public Private Partnership (PPP) model. He said the state government’s role was to construct a 6-lane access road to the new city, while the developers were expected to develop the city.

    He said: “Asaba is becoming very attractive to property developers who are coming from Lagos to Asaba because Asaba today is housing most of those people from the South-East. They are coming here because they find Asaba very comfortable and they know that we are also hospitable.

    “The Asaba Waterfront City Project is a Public/ Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement between the state government and the developers.

    “Our obligation is to reclaim the place to give them an access route, a six-lane access road, to this place. They have done about 20 percent of this job; the challenge they are having is the buildings on the right of way.

    “We have released money for compensation to the property owners and we have also released funds to the contractor for the project. They have assured us they will complete the road project in July; so, I have come here to look at the work that has been done and I am happy that they are on site.”

    At the Oko-Amakom to Oko-Obiakpu main alignment road, the governor said, “this road is very important to the people of Oko; it is one meter above the 2012 flood level and the people sought refuge on the road during the last flood.

    “The contractor has assured us that the project will be completed in June/July this year. What we are spending here on this road is much more than what we would have spent in constructing a 10km road elsewhere because of the terrain.

    “It is our strong commitment towards opening up rural areas to enhance the economic development of our rural dwellers.”

    On the Marine Road, Off Cable Point Road, Asaba, Governor Oborevwori said the road was very vital to the people of Asaba because goods are ferried from across the River Niger.

    He assured that the State Government was working hard to clean up Asaba, stressing, “we want the best for them and I believe that this year a lot will change.”

    Governor Oborevwori also inspected the ongoing construction work on Leo Okonweze and Odozi-Obodo streets, off Ezenei Avenue, in Asaba, and urged the contractors to expedite completion of the projects.

    …Vows to sanction erring contractors

    Also on Tuesday, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori reiterated that he was out for erring contractors who execute shoddy jobs for the state and vowed severe sanctions for them and site engineers who okay shoddy jobs for payment.

    Governor Oborevwori issued the warning shortly after inspecting the Achalla-Ibusa Road being executed by the state government. The Governor, who frowned at the poor quality drainage executed by the contractor handling the project, reiterated that his administration would not tolerate any shoddy job.

    He disclosed that his decision to inspect the project stemmed from an unsatisfactory feedback he had received from individuals that he had previously sent to evaluate the project.

    Governor Oborevwori, who also inspected the recently completed internal roads road in the 63 Brigade Barracks of the Nigerian Army in Aboh-Ogwashi, applauded the contractor for the speedy execution of the project for which, he said, was awarded three months ago.

    “We awarded this project three months ago, and I am pleased to commend the contractor for doing an excellent job. This road will encourage further development, allowing the Army to proceed with building structures in the area,” he said.

    Other projects inspected by the Governor included the gully erosion site along Okpanam-Ibusa bypass, the perimeter fence and road around Asaba International Airport as well as Kwekagbor Layout, opposite Summit Junction, Asaba.

    …urges Nigerians to support families of fallen heroes

    On Wednesday, the Governor participated in the 2025 Armed Forces Remembrance Day ceremony held at the Cenotaph in Asaba and urged Nigerians to support families of fallen heroes.

    Governor Oborevwori, who led other top government functionaries, military, and paramilitary personnel to lay wreaths in honour of the nation’s fallen heroes, said: “My prayer is for God to grant the souls of our fallen heroes eternal rest and also to console with their families,” the governor said.

    “I want to reassure their families that they will never be neglected. Whichever way we can support them, we will continue to support the widows and also those in the forefront today”.

    …Says he won’t sacrifice quality jobs for friendship

    Governor Sheriff Oborevwori on Thursday, said his administration’s priority remained the delivery of quality projects aimed at giving value to the people, regardless of personal relationships.

    Speaking during the inspection of multiple projects in Asaba, the state capital, Governor Oborevwori emphasized that competence, integrity and value- for- money were critical to his administration’s M.O.R.E Agenda.

    The projects inspected included Ogbeosonwe Ogbeilo road, Ogbogonogo market storm drainage project and Ogbe-Ofu Road, off Jarret Road, Cable Point, Asaba.

    Others are the Amaechi Agusi Street with 10 adjoining streets, Dorah Allanah Street, Oluu Street, Burutu Drive, off Infant Jesus Road, Odilison Junior Crescent, Agbogun Close, Ngozi Odiaka Avenue, Aloy Isomede Street, Ezeobi Ojukwu Street, and Ajudua Street, Okpanam, Aretha Table Water Street, Off NTA Road, Asaba, and Redeemer’s Street Asaba.

    Governor Oborevwori said, “I was elected to serve the people of Delta, not to please a select few. Friendship cannot, and will, not, take precedence over the quality of projects we provide for the people.

    “Contractors in the state know that; I have always emphasized the need for quality jobs but the people who are causing this problem are not the big companies; it is some of our indigenous contractors that are causing these problems.”

    …Says actions guided by Delta’s overall interests

    Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Friday, said all his actions as governor were guided by the interest of the people and assured that no one would short change the state under his watch.

    Oborevwori disclosed this at the 50th birth anniversary thanksgiving of the Majority Leader of the Delta State House of Assembly, Engr Emeka Nwaobi, at St. Paul’s Catholic Cathedral, Issele-Uku, Aniocha North Local Government Area of the state.

    While commending the celebrant on his empowerment programme for the people, Governor Oborevwori urged people in authority to always remember the widows and the other less- privileged persons in the society.

    He said; “As people in authority, we must do what we will be remembered for; so, I am happy that you are empowering people from your constituency.

    “We have so many people today who don’t want the progress of this state. What we are doing now some people are not happy because they feel we want to outshine them.

    “But we will always do what the people want; for us, it is the people first, Delta first. All these positions are temporary; the thing you will be remembered for is the service you rendered and I am doing my own now.

    “Like I told people, the state’s contractors, nobody is my friend because the people who voted for me want the best from me.

    “It is me, the people, will ask questions, not you as a contractor; so, some people may not be happy, but that is their business. At the end, I will be remembered for the good things that I achieved for them.”

    Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has extended his heartfelt condolences to the Ibru family of Agbarha-Otor in Ughelli North Local Government Area following the passing of Mrs. Edna Ibru, a beloved wife and mother.

    Mrs. Ibru, who was married to the late Olorogun Senator Felix Ovuodoroye Ibru—the first Executive Governor of Delta State—reportedly passed away in London after a brief illness.

    A former Miss Nigeria in 1964, Mrs. Ibru’s death occurred on Wednesday, leaving a significant void for her family and community.

    In a statement from the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, Governor Oborevwori expressed his sorrow at the loss of Mrs. Ibru, highlighting her role as a devoted wife and mother who stood by her family in all their noble endeavors.

    “On behalf of the government and the people of Delta State, I mourn the loss of a remarkable woman, Mrs. Edna Ibru—a caring mother and loving wife,” he said.

    “The news of her passing has come as a shock, especially during this time when her family needs her motherly wisdom and guidance the most.

    “She was a woman of great faith who dedicated her time to supporting her husband’s political journey, which ultimately led to his election as Delta State’s first Executive Governor.”

    Governor Oborevwori offered prayers for the eternal rest of Mrs. Ibru and asked for strength and comfort for her family and friends as they navigate this profound loss.

    Deltans Experiencing Positive Changes Under Oborevwori’s Leadership – Clark

    By Sunday Apah

    Elder Statesman and Convener of the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Chief Edwin Clark, has praised Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, for his substantial accomplishments since taking office on May 29, 2023.

    In a recent open letter, Clark commended Governor Oborevwori for his swift progress and deemed him as having surpassed his predecessors in a remarkably short period.

    He specifically highlighted the transformation of Warri into a vibrant commercial center and addressed long-standing infrastructure issues across the state.

    Clark took issue with Senator Ned Nwoko’s claims of inefficiency regarding the Oborevwori administration, characterizing such assertions as unfounded.

    He encouraged critics to acknowledge that no past governor of Delta State has managed to deliver comparable results within the same timeframe.

    The prominent Ijaw leader recognized the governor’s initiatives to restore Warri as one of Nigeria’s key commercial hubs, a status that had waned due to previous neglect.

    He applauded Governor Oborevwori for engaging Julius Berger Construction Company to undertake vital projects, including the construction of three flyovers, a cloverleaf interchange, pedestrian bridges, and extensive road expansions at the DSC Roundabout.

    These endeavors, valued at ₦78 billion, are already progressing significantly.

    “Warri is quickly regaining its former glory. The once-declining Warri Township is now being revitalized under Oborevwori’s administration,” he expressed.

    Clark contrasted this revitalization with the past oversight that allowed Warri to languish while development efforts were concentrated in less populated areas, leaving bustling commercial locations like Warri and Uvwie overlooked.

    He further commended the governor for ensuring that infrastructural benefits extend throughout Delta State. He mentioned the ongoing dualization of the Asaba-Ughelli Road and other projects that are positively impacting nearly every community in the state.

    “Today, the landscape has changed. Nearly all regions of Delta State are experiencing the benefits of Governor Oborevwori’s initiatives,” said Clark.

    He also lauded the governor for addressing a debt exceeding ₦300 billion accumulated by former administrations while prioritizing projects that serve the community over political patronage.

    Clark dismissed Senator Nwoko’s recent criticisms—asserting that they lacked merit. He challenged the senator to refute his claims about the ongoing developments.

    “Instead of distributing state resources for political favors, the governor is committing them to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives,” he stated.

    He urged Governor Oborevwori to maintain his focus and continue his effective governance while ensuring that the needs of oil-producing communities are met and development is equitably distributed across the state.

    “I am not one for empty praise; I strive to speak the truth,” Clark affirmed. “Governor Oborevwori has made impressive strides in advancing development and democracy in Delta State. I encourage him to remain committed to his vision, ensuring that every community benefits,” he concluded.

    Governor Oborevwori Prioritizes Quality Projects Over Personal Relationships

    Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, emphasized on Thursday that his administration’s primary focus remains on delivering quality projects that benefit the people, regardless of personal connections.

    Speaking during an inspection of various projects in Asaba, the state capital, Governor Oborevwori highlighted that competence, integrity, and value for money are cornerstones of his administration’s M.O.R.E Agenda.

    Among the projects examined were the Ogbeosonwe and Ogbeilo roads, the Ogbogonogo Market storm drainage project, and Ogbe-Ofu Road off Jarret Road in Cable Point, Asaba. Additional projects included the 1.7 km Amaechi Agusi Street along with ten adjoining streets, such as Dorah Allanah Street, Oluu Street, and Redeemer’s Street.

    Governor Oborevwori stated, “I was elected to serve the people of Delta, not to please a select few. Friendship cannot and will not take precedence over the quality of projects we deliver to the public.”

    He underscored the need for contractors in the state to prioritize quality in their work, noting that issues primarily arise from some local contractors rather than large companies. “The significant challenges we’re facing often come from indigenous contractors. Some may claim that I’m not supporting their growth if I don’t use them, but quality must always take priority. Those who fail to meet standards will be blacklisted.”

    Highlighting his commitment to public interest, he remarked, “The concerns of the people are more important than any individual grievances. While some contractors may be unhappy, the satisfaction of the majority is what truly matters. We are not staging a media spectacle; what we are doing is authentic. Those who know me well understand that I will not compromise on quality. If you want to be my friend, deliver quality work. If not, I will part ways with you.”

    Addressing concerns regarding project costs, Governor Oborevwori acknowledged the increase in rates due to inflation and rising material costs. “We can only consider reviews for jobs awarded in 2022 and early 2023, prior to my administration. When we took office, the exchange rate was approximately N750 to $1, and now it stands at around N1600. Although we empathize with contractors, our primary aim is to ensure that high standards are met.”

    Governor Oborevwori also encouraged Asaba residents to maintain cleanliness in their surroundings and directed the State Commissioner for Environment, the Chairman of the Waste Management Board, and the Chairman of the Taskforce on Environment to ensure total compliance with cleanliness efforts.

    The Chairperson of the Nigerian Army Officers Wives Association (NAOWA), 6 Division Chapter, Mrs. Maryam Almustapha Abdussalam, emphasized the crucial role of skill acquisition for youth, regardless of their educational backgrounds, as a means to foster self-sufficiency and address the significant unemployment challenges faced in the country.

    Mrs. Abdussalam made this statement during a goodwill message at the inauguration of a newly established Skill Acquisition Centre. This centre, built by High Chief Peter Onajite Esievo, Managing Director of Evomec Global Services Limited, is named after the late Chief of Army Staff’s wife, Mrs. Mariya Abiodun Lagbaja. The event took place at the 3 Battalion Barracks in Effurun, Delta State.

    She expressed her appreciation for the Nigerian Army leadership, particularly the 63 Brigade and 3 Battalion, for their visionary initiative in creating a skill acquisition centre aimed at supporting the children of soldiers residing in the barracks. Mrs. Abdussalam also praised High Chief Esievo for his dedication in bringing the project to fruition, ensuring its timely completion for the benefit of the community.

    However, she urged for the ongoing maintenance of the centre, stating that the true value of such initiatives relies on their upkeep. Without proper care, she warned that the centre might lose its purpose within a short time.

    “We are all aware that a significant challenge in our nation is the lack of a maintenance culture. I strongly appeal for this project to receive the attention it needs to thrive. If we neglect to maintain it, it may unfortunately become ineffective in a year’s time,” she asserted.

    In her opening remarks, Mrs. Onyinye Unachukwu, Zonal Coordinator for NAOWA 63 Brigade and the chief host for the event, highlighted the project’s importance for the youth in the barracks. She noted that it would create an opportunity for skill development, leading to greater self-reliance.

    She enumerated the various skills that will be offered at the centre, including Catering, Tailoring and Fashion Design, Adult Education, Information and Communication Technology, Bead Making, as well as Barbing and Hair Salon services, Soap Making, Make-Up, and Woodwork/Metalwork, along with a Cradle Area for children of participants.

    Mrs. Unachukwu praised High Chief Peter Onajite Esievo for his continued support through various projects that enhance the living conditions of those in the barracks, commending his commitment to uplifting the community.

    “High Chief Peter Onajite Esievo, the Ugherughe of Agboh Kingdom, has exemplified friendship with the Brigade through his thoughtful contributions to personnel welfare and development,” she stated.

    “Thanks to him, our women and youth, including those whose husbands or fathers are actively serving in conflict zones in the Northeast or elsewhere, now have the chance to acquire valuable empowerment skills in a supportive environment.”

    She encouraged the barracks community to fully utilize this exceptional opportunity, expressing gratitude to High Chief Esievo for this legacy project and his unwavering support for military families.

    “Our prayer is for the Almighty to bless you abundantly. You have truly become part of the Brigade’s history and have inscribed your name in gold,” she concluded.

    During his address, High Chief Peter Onajite Esievo noted that the decision to establish the skill acquisition centre was made after consultations with the High Command of 63 Brigade and 3 Battalion, who recognized the positive impact it would have on the barracks community.

    Represented by Chief Eric Eseoghene at the event, High Chief Esievo reaffirmed his commitment to partnering with the military in improving the welfare of the barracks, pledging to continue contributing to the community’s development, particularly in Warri and its surrounding areas.
