The Deputy Governor of Delta State, Sir Monday Onyeme, has assured the people of Ossissa Community in Ndokwa East Local Government Area of the state that the Oborevwori administration was prepared to meet the yearnings of Deltans.
The deputy governor gave the assurance in a meeting with leaders of Ossissa Community who paid him a congratulatory visit in his office at the Government House in Asaba.
According to him, the Governor Oborevwori administration was prepared to work for the good of the people who elected him, adding that one of the areas the administration would pay attention to was the provision of electricity.
He said that priority attention would ensure that communities in state were properly lighted up and that with electricity, economic development of the areas would be enhanced.
He noted that electricity, good roads and quality health-care services had been the problem of the Ndokwa Nation and assured them that the Oborevwori administration would do everything possible to address the infrastructural shortcomings in the area.
Onyeme decried the lack of teaching staff in the education sector, especially in the rural areas of the state, just as he suggested that community-based teachers be trained to solve the problem of rejection by teachers posted to the rural areas.
The deputy governor also assured leaders of Ossissa Community that the state government was going to look into the problem of flooding and lack of community-based health workers in the rural communities.
Leaders of Ossissa Community, earlier in an address presented by the former Commissioner for Higher Education, Hon. (Chief) Dr Kingsley Ashibogu, said the visit was to congratulate the deputy governor and the Delta State governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, on their victory at the election and successful inauguration.
Chief Ashibogu also pledged continued support and loyalty of the Ossissa people for the state governor towards the realisation of the MORE agenda of the Oborevwori administration.
In a related development, Sir Onyeme has promised the people of Utagba-Uno Clan in Ndokwa West Local Government Area of the state of the intervention of the state government in roads, health facilities rehabilitation and flood control in the area.
The deputy governor gave the assurance when a delegation of Utagba-Uno Clan paid him a congratulatory visit in his office at the Government House in Asaba.
Responding to the request of the people for the rehabilitation of roads and provision of other social amenities in the area, the deputy governor said that “by the grace of God, the Oborevwori administration will do everything possible to rectify the infrastructural decay being suffered by the people of Ndokwa Nation”.
Onyeme disclosed that since some of the projects were already in the last year budget, the state government would provide funds for their proper execution, stressing that the road project would not be abandoned.
He promised that flood control measures would be put in place through drainage construction to checkmate the issues of perennial flooding in the area.
The deputy governor commended the people for their support during the elections, adding that health facilities in the area would be strengthened to cater for the health needs of the people.
