The Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, announced that his administration has a series of projects scheduled for inauguration to commemorate his first 100 days in office.
This announcement was made during his inspection of various projects across the state capital, including the Administrative building, Faculty of Agriculture building, lecture theatres, Faculty of Environment, and Vice Chancellor’s lodge at Dennis Osadebay University, Anwai-Asaba.
Additionally, he reviewed projects like the State High Court Complex, 16km of internal roads, and drainages around the Madonna Road area, as well as the Okpanam – Ibusa Road in Oshimili South and Oshimili North Local Government Areas.
Governor Oborevwori emphasized his commitment to ensuring that all projects meet the specified standards before inauguration.
“In line with my M.O.R.E agenda, I summoned all the Permanent Secretaries to list out projects that we know we can complete urgently and this Dennis Osadebay University is one of them.
“I must tell you that the contractor is doing a very good job and I commend him for that. I know that in the next one week, we will come here for commissioning.
Regarding the High Court Complex, the Governor noted that some of the previously identified issues have been addressed, and the complex is set to be inaugurated in two weeks.
“I was here on 23rd of June and looking at the work now, I can say that they have done very well. They have completed the second layer now which is about 16 kilomiters of adjoining roads with drains within this Madonna area.
“The contractor has done very well because he knows that we want good jobs. I won’t inaugurate any work that is not up to specification.
“The Ughelli-Asaba dualisation project is another job ongoing that I look forward to completing and I pray that this flood that is coming now does not affect the pace of work there.”
He also expressed satisfaction with the quality of work on the 16km adjoining roads around Madonna school road, assuring that they are ready for inauguration.
“I am actually satisfied with the work done so far because the corrections we suggested such as the work panel and the positioning of the toilets, have all been corrected.
“There are also some amendments to the sitting capacity which they are going to do and the contractor has assured us that it will be completed and ready for commissioning in 10 days.
“Some of these ongoing projects and the new ones initiated will be inaugurated very soon; all within my 100 days in office.
“I promised Deltans that I am going to do M.O.R.E and I am very sure that they will get more”
The Governor further mentioned his administration’s intention to submit a supplementary budget of N167 billion to the State Assembly to address various areas of need.
The Governor said: “I have already told Deltans that there will be meaningful development and as you can see, we just had our maiden Exco yesterday, where a lot of approvals were granted.
“We also approved a supplementary budget to be able to carter for some of the areas that we know that are not properly funded and I can tell you that I have a good team and am sure that Deltans will get more from my administration”.
