First Anniversary: High Court Complex Project ‘ll Be Inaugurated This Month- Gov Oborevwori
Delta state governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, has assured that the High Court building complex project , Asaba, would be inaugurated this month submitting that it would be part of the projects that will be inaugurated to mark his administration’s first year in office.
Governor Oborevwori was sworn in as governor of Delta state on May 29, 2023.
A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com noted that Governor Oborevwori, who disclosed this while talking to journalists after inspecting the project on Tuesday, said he was impressed with the exterior finishing of the building but however expressed dissatisfaction with the interior finishing and told the contractor to take remedial steps ahead of the inauguration of the project this month.
The five-storey high court building project has conference halls, chambers, a library, zoom room, computer laboratory, public and private elevators, holding cell for suspects, registry, canteen, car park and male and female convenience apartments.
Governor Oborevwori said: ‘The exterior is good and we are satisfied with it. It’ s just little maintenance. But the interior is where we have challenges. They have over delayed the inauguration of this project.
I was here on the 23rd of June, less than a month after I assumed office.
I came here again, on the 31st of August last year and I am here now. This is the third time I am visiting this project. It shows how important it is to us. It is one of the projects to be inaugurated to mark my first year in office.
We are here with the Chairman of the one year anniversary planning committee, who is also the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Kingsley Emu, the Chief Judge of Delta state, Justice Theresa Diai, and we are not too satisfied with the work.
But they have promised that, within two weeks, everything will be okay. The person in charge of the furnishing has also assured us to deliver within the next two to three weeks. So, I am sure that, by next month, we are going to commission this project’.
On the source of power supply, the governor said, ‘I have discussed with the Chief Judge; this project cannot rely on just the normal power from BEDC. It will be connected to the Independent Power Plant’.
On the expectations of workers on May Day, Governor Oborevwori said: ‘I am a worker-friendly governor. I paid the outstanding workers’ promotion arrears when I came in.
We supported the local governments to clear outstanding pension arrears and, just last week, we gave vehicles to the 29 Permanent Secretaries that have not got vehicles. So, you will hear from me on May day’ -Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us? Do you want us to cover your event or programme?
