Delta State-born peace and development advocate, Comrade Mulade Sheriff, has urged Governor Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori to place greater emphasis on people-oriented projects capable of driving industrialization and creating vital employment opportunities for the youth. Comrade Mulade, who is also a respected environmental rights activist and United Nations Peace Ambassador, made this call during a recent press conference in Asaba, the state capital. Highlighting the urgent need for economic transformation, the Ibe-Serimowei of ancient Gbaramatu Kingdom stressed that the state government should focus on initiatives that boost economic growth while directly improving the living standards of residents. Mulade further encouraged Governor Oborevwori to take inspiration from his counterparts—such as Pastor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State and Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State, who recently launched Enugu Airlines despite Enugu’s state revenue being roughly half of Delta’s. According to him, "Delta State has more resources to float Delta Airways, which will create employment opportunities for our youths and industrialise the state." The development advocate further argued that while "infrastructural projects are good, however, creating employment opportunities for the youths is far better and more important for peaceful, revitalised, sustainable economy that will add value to our economy." Mulade therefore appeal to the governor to prioritise industrialisation due to its immense benefits of job creation, while he also admitted the State's unhealthy policies that are anti-business. "I want to strongly appeal to His Excellency, Rt Hon Sheriff F.O Oborevwori, the Executive Governor of Delta State, to consider and prioritise industrialization as key to save our deteriorated economy. "It is equally imperative to state that Delta State business economy is not healthy because of some government policies that are not economically friendly," he stated.
