The Delta State Governor, Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa, on Tuesday predicted that by 2018, the State will become the number producer of oil in the country if the youths continue to maintain the existing peace.
Governor Okowa made the prediction at the palace of the Okobaro of Ughieveen Kingdom, HRM. Matthew Ediri Egbi JP Owhawha shortly after he commissioned 10.8 Kilometres rehabilitated/resealed Okpare-Umolo-Ovwodokpokpor, Kiagbodo roads in addition to the inspection of Ewu and Okpe-Olomu roads.
Governor Okowa noted that the State Government could not meet up to the expectations of its people because of the little derivation accruing to the state in addition to youth restiveness and militancy.
The governor appealed to youths in Ughelli South Local Government Area to continue to maintain the existing peace as well as secure Government facilities within their areas.
Governor Okowa said, “Delta State as fourth producer of oil is not Delta of our dream. We were first oil producer and later second before we went to fourth position. We cannot meet up the expectations of our people. Let us maintain the peace so that we can rapidly go back to second position and if we maintain the peace, by 2018 we will get back to first position.
Governor Okowa also commended the traditional institutions for their partnership in ensuring a peaceful Ughelli South Local Government Area.

The Ughievwen monarch, HRM, Matthew Edirin Egbi JP appealed to the governor to resolve the “power cut” in their area, stressing,” We contribute a lot to power from our place here.
Commissioning the road earlier, Governor Okowa thanked God for the enablement to complete the project.
Earlier in his remarks, Delta State Commissioner for Works, Mr. James Augoye stated that the project was awarded on 6th January, 2016 to Setraco Construction Company while the Okpe-Olomu road was awarded to Obakpor Engineering Company on 24th March 2016.
Chairman of Ughelli South Local Government Council, Evang. Paul Etaga hailed the governor for the rehabilitation of the road, pointing out that its benefits is enormous to the people of Ughelli South Local Government Area.

GOOD THE ZOO MUST FAIL

Even if the number one in the whole world

If they lack good leadership

It won't add value to deltans

waiting concern me

Being number one is not the issue, what happens to the allocation from being number one is what matters. We have been there before Akwaibom took over.

Okowa, even if they give you Saudi and Qatar oil wells you will still keep Delta in its present state. You are a disgrace to governance

They'll always sound promising but when its time for the real deal, they flop...

They make lots of noise...

And what difference will it make to the lives of Deltans since a.bo.k.i.s will still own the oil wells & more of your lands and streams will be polluted and made unproductive? Who becomes the ultimate winner and looser? Misplaced priority!
