Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Dennis Guwor, has been recognized as the “Most Outstanding Steward in Legislative Business, 2024” by the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), Delta State Council.
Presenting the award, NUJ State Chairman, Comrade Churchill Oyovwe, praised Guwor’s legislative ingenuity, administrative excellence, and impactful leadership as the Assembly’s Presiding Officer. He highlighted the Speaker’s role in maintaining legislative stability and fostering strong governance since his inauguration nearly two years ago.
Oyovwe further commended Guwor’s commitment to people-centered legislation and his collaborative approach with the Executive in advancing Delta State. The award, he noted, serves as encouragement for the Speaker to stay dedicated to the state’s progress.

The NUJ Chairman also acknowledged Guwor’s support for journalism, citing his appointment of Mr. Nkem Nwaeke as Chief Press Secretary and his positive engagement with Assembly Correspondents.
“We appreciate how you’ve demonstrated control, leadership, and progress in legislative business. This award reflects your efforts in steering the House forward.
“I must also commend the Assembly media team, particularly Mr Nkem Nwaeke, the Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker for promoting the House’s activities to the public. Without their hard work, many people would not know about the good work happening in the Delta State House of Assembly,” Oyovwe stated.
Receiving the award, Rt Hon Emomotimi Guwor commended the leadership of the Delta State NUJ for honouring him with the “Most Outstanding Steward In Legislative Business”, award.
Guwor dedicated the award to the people of Warri South-West Constituency whom he said, voted for him to represent them in the State Legislature and his colleagues at the 8th Delta Assembly for electing him as the Speaker of the House.
“This award inspires me to work harder and deliver more for the people. I am grateful to my colleagues and the people of my constituency for giving me the platform”, the Speaker said.
The Speaker, however, used the forum to reiterate his call on the State NUJ to set up machinery that would address the issue of quackery in the profession.
He said the call had become imperative as it would go a long way in sanitizing the profession which he noted is already being bastardized by the activities of quacks who derives delight in unnecessary blackmail.
“Journalism is a noble profession, and we need to ensure that only ethical practices are upheld. I challenge the leadership of NUJ to work to remove quacks who misuse the title of journalist”, Guwor emphasized.
The Speaker, accompanied by the Majority Leader, Hon. Emeka Nwaobi, along with Hon. Marylyn Okowa-Daramola, Hon. Emeka Osamuta, and Hon. Frank Esenwa, praised the professional excellence of Assembly correspondents covering the State Legislature during the award presentation.
He also pledged to enhance collaboration with the State NUJ.
