Delta Gov Commends Tinubu as Oshimili South Gets New Secretariat Complex, Access Road

Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for strengthening the financial autonomy of local government councils, saying the development has enabled them to meet their obligations to workers and undertake meaningful projects at the grassroots.

Governor Oborevwori gave the commendation during the commissioning of the newly built Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori Administrative Complex and the Epiphany Azinge Access Road in Asaba, Oshimili South Local Government Area.

The governor, who was represented by his Deputy, Sir Monday Onyeme, expressed appreciation to President Tinubu for creating an enabling environment that has strengthened the financial capacity of local government councils to discharge their responsibilities.

“I also thank our President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for making it possible for the third tier of government, the local government councils, to meet their financial obligations to workers and also execute multi-million-naira projects,” he said.

Oborevwori commended the leadership of the Oshimili South Local Government Council, led by its Chairman, Hon. Ezenyili Kelvin Obi, for delivering the projects to standard.

He noted that the projects were in line with the objectives of his administration’s M.O.R.E. Agenda and urged workers who would occupy the new administrative complex to ensure its proper maintenance.

“To the staff and civil servants who will occupy this building, bear in mind that this facility belongs to the public. Maintain these structures responsibly so that they continue to serve the people of Oshimili South for years to come,” he said.

The governor reiterated his administration’s commitment to the execution of life-enhancing projects across the 25 local government areas of the state.

Earlier, the Chairman of Oshimili South Local Government Council, Hon. Ezenyili Kelvin Obi, said the projects were conceived to provide an environment that would promote administrative productivity and improve the quality of services rendered to the people.

He said the administrative complex was named in honour of Governor Oborevwori in recognition of his outstanding leadership and support for local government councils in the state.

According to him, the newly constructed access road, named after the Obi of Asaba, H.R.M. Prof. Epiphany Chibogu Azinge, SAN, would improve accessibility to the council secretariat.

Ezenyili explained that the administrative complex was designed to provide a more functional and conducive working environment for council staff, federal agencies and personnel of non-governmental organisations.

He pledged the council’s continued commitment to implementing programmes and policies that would positively impact the lives of the people.

The commissioning attracted royal fathers, government officials, political leaders, council workers and other stakeholders
