Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State has congratulated the people of the state on the occasion of the 34th anniversary of the creation of the State.
The Governor in a statement issued in Asaba on Tuesday by his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, assured the people of better days ahead under his administration.
Recall that Delta state was created on August 27, 1991, by the military administration of General Ibrahim Babangida.
Oborevwori described Delta’s 34 years of statehood as a journey of resilience, unity, and steady progress in spite of daunting challenges.
He commended past leaders, traditional rulers, community leaders, and citizens for their contributions to the growth and development of the state, noting that their sacrifices had kept Delta united and on the path of peace and prosperity.
Oborevwori said: “On this 34th anniversary of our beloved Delta state, I congratulate every Deltan at home and in the diaspora.
“We have every reason to celebrate how far we have come as a people bound by unity, love, diversity, and a shared vision of progress.”
He reaffirmed that his administration’s M.O.R.E Agenda focusing on Meaningful Development, Opportunities for all, Realistic Reforms, and Enhanced Peace and Security, was designed to consolidate past achievements while opening new chapters of growth across all sectors.
“Our people can be rest assured that better days are ahead. We are committed to building stronger institutions, providing quality infrastructure, supporting businesses, empowering women and youths, and ensuring sustainable development that touches every part of Delta state,” he said.
Oborevwori urged the citizens to remain hopeful, peaceful, and supportive of government policies and programmes, stressing that the success of the state depends on the collective efforts of its people.
He also called for prayers and unity as Delta forges ahead into what he described as “a new era of development”.
