President of the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE), Mr Eze Anaba, has said Governor Oborevwori is not just making promises, but implementing policies that touch the lives of ordinary citizens.
Speaking in Effurun after a tour of projects in the state, Anaba said editors were impressed and applauded the Delta State government.
He said they were particularly impressed with the strategic investment in social protection initiatives, public sector reforms and massive road infrastructure which collectively paint the picture of a state moving steadily towards sustainable progress.
He said, “From all indications, we have seen some very impressive road networks that are very fitting of this environment. We have had cases where roads caved in within weeks, schools collapsed within weeks.
“The road network we have seen so far is quite impressive and from what we have seen so far, Delta is experiencing huge infrastructure development from the schools, road networks and the flyover bridges.”
Also speaking, a former presidential spokesman and Arise News anchor, Dr. Reuben Abati, expressed delight with the revitalisation of technical colleges in Delta State.
“I was particularly impressed to see that we now have functioning technical colleges in states like Delta. This is a crucial component of the national education curriculum developing middle-level manpower with technical skills,” he said.
Earlier, the state commissioner for works (rural roads) and public information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, emphasised the need for an objective assessment of the progress recorded so far.
He stated that the Oborevwori administration remained committed to improving the living standards of the people by delivering quality infrastructure.
