| Governor Okowa congratulates Mr. Emma Chinye after inauguaration as Chairman, Delta State Waste management Board. |
Governor of Delta State, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has urged political
office holders to get committed to his administration's Stronger Delta agenda.
The governor made the call today, Tuesday, September 24, 2019,
while swearing in a Special Adviser, Chief Emuobo Gbagi and inauguration of
five boards of different parastatals and agencies in Asaba.
He said that all government functionaries should "sit up
and get running, because there is a lot to be done."
According to Okowa, I see you appointees as a vehicle for
rendering of selfless service to Deltans and not as opportunity to enrich
yourselves or for ego trip.
“You (political appointees) must hold the position in trust for
the people; it is not about eye service to the Governor but, about the impact
that you will make in the life of the people.
”We are to render service to the people, work with the people,
communicate with the grassroots, and bring development to them; only then would
we have performed as a government,” he said.
The governor congratulated Gbagi and others who were inaugurated
at the ceremony and urged them to cooperate with civil servants to ensure
seamless rendering of service to the people.
“There is a lot to be done and we will continue to do our best
to meet with the aspirations of Deltans.
"I want to state that it is not possible to give
appointment to all Deltans who saw to my emergence as Governor; what I will
assure is that as much as possible we will deliver the dividends of democracy
and reposition our state to be prosperous for stronger Delta to be achieved.
“We will continue to stay focused on our goals; everybody should
provide the enabling environment that will engender peace for investment to
thrive, because the more resources we have, the more we engage in development
programmes,” he stated.
The Boards inaugurated were those of Delta State Library Board
with Dr. Israel Abido as Chairman and Mrs Ayo Ojeifoh, Mr Donald Akpojohare,
Mrs Blessing Oghogho as members.
Delta State School of Health Technology has Dr Chris Oharisi as
Chairman, while Mr Sunny Tatabuzogwu and Mrs Osuobeni Ebikabo-Ere as members.
Chief Christiana Etaluku is new Chairman of Delta State Post

Angozi and Mr Venture Oyiborhoro as members.
Delta State Waste Management Board has Mr Emmanuel Chinye
as Chairman and Mr Jude Onya, Mr Mofe Edema, and Mr Daniel Ighedo as
members.
Also inaugurated was Chief Andrew Orugbo as Chairman of

Orugbo responded on behalf of all the appointees and
congratulated the governor on the recent reaffirmation of his electoral victory
by the Gubernatorial Election Petitions Tribunal.

the benefits of Deltans.
