The Governor also commissioned 29 networks of roads with 31.45 line drains around Madonna College road in the Asaba and Okpanam areas of Oshimili South and Oshimili North Local Government Council areas of the State to mark his first 100 days in office.
Speaking on the achievements of Oborevwori in his first 100 days in office, Mr Obaro Egagifo, an ex-aide to a former Commissioner for Works in the State said the former Speaker has done well.
“We had no doubt that Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori would deliver as Governor. That is why we supported his ambition. He has not disappointed. You can see from the projects inaugurated in his first 100 days in office. We are positive and these are signs of more good things to come. I strongly believe Governor Oborevwori will deliver on the MORE Agenda,” Egagifo said.
Speaking in a separate interview with TNG, a People’s Democratic Party (PDP) youth leader in the State, Mr Christopher Ejoh said Oborevwori’s achievements in his first 100 days in office are a testament that he will deliver on the MORE Agenda.
Mr Ejoh, who urged Deltans to continue to support the administration, stressed that Oborevwori had not derailed in ensuring the peaceful co-existence of residents of the State.
According to him, Oborevwori’s administration has accommodated everyone in areas of social welfare, appointment, security and the distribution of palliatives.
“From the way he makes his appointment, you can attest that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori means well for Deltans.
“Just recently, the Delta State Executive Council approved the sum of N10 billion as Social Investment to fund palliatives for Deltans.
“The administration also helped to secure legislative approval for the local government councils to obtain a N40 billion bank loan to enable them to liquidate their backlog of pension liabilities.
“The government has also given the nod for the local government councils to recruit teaching and non-teaching staff to fill up existing vacancies.
“Oborevwori has also set up a committee in a prompt manner awaiting the impending flood. That is a governor who means business.
“That is why all Deltans are saying Oborrvwori has done well in his first 100 days in office and all these are pointers to signs of better things to come,” Ejoh said.
