My Administration Has Made Great Strides Without Taking Loans – Gov Sheriff Oborevwori 

Delta state governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori asserted on Sunday that the state has enjoyed peace and progress under his leadership despite not taking loans since his administration came into being one year ago.

He also noted that this has happened despite the fact that the country had also fallen on hard times.

A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com noted that Governor Oborevwori said this during the thanksgiving service held to mark the first anniversary of the 8th Delta state House of Assembly at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Region 34 Headquarter, Unity Model Parish, Asaba on Sunday. 

He submitted that the state is making impressive progress in infrastructure  and human capital developments despite the economic hard times bedeviling the country, adding that the state has not borrowed a dime to fund projects. 

Governor Oborevwori said: ‘God has been faithful in the affairs of the state as people who live outside this state don’t know what we are enjoying, we are enjoying peace and progress. 

There is also abundance, Delta state has not borrowed in the last one year despite that we are in these hard times in Nigeria. 

You can see that members of the State House of Assembly are shining and I have told them that whatever other states are doing and we are not doing we will do it for them because they are great partners in the administration of the state’. 

He urged members of the House of Assembly to continue serving the people with the fear of God adding that God will continue to bless the state  and make it become one of the best states in the country. 

In his remarks, Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor said the house of Assembly thanked God for His infinite mercy over members of the State House of Assembly and for the first  anniversary of the 8th Assembly which was inaugurated on  June 13, 2023.

 

Guwor also noted that the 8th Assembly is unique because the house of assembly currently has one of its former presiding officers as governor. 

He said; ‘Governor Oborevwori understands perfectly the workings of the State House of Assembly hence we have enjoyed robust partnership with the Executive. 

My colleagues respect the leadership of the House and there has been lots of cooperation among members and I thank them for their support and partnership’.

The Speaker also  commended Deltans for selecting the best out of the state to represent them in the 8th Assembly, adding that, ‘we  have had 18 bills, both Executive and Private member bills out of which nine have been passed and three assented to already’.

He lauded Deltans for the confidence reposed in the House of assembly, assuring that they would not let them down. 

In his Sermon, the Region 34 Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Asaba, Pastor Olufemi Olumide said thanksgiving has the key that opens all doors and commended the 8th House of Assembly for appreciating God with a thanksgiving.
