Delta State Governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori was received in his own Osubi, Okpe local government areas, Delta State during a routine inspection of ongoing infrastructural projects in the area.
The Governor was received on Monday by construction workers at the Julius Berger Nigeria Plc project site with arousing welcome, as he assured them of more job opportunities for the youths.
Oborevwori cited unemployment and economic hardship as a bane in the society, noting that government must continue to initiate projects that improve livelihoods and provide opportunities for young people.
He said; “there are many challenges facing our people today, especially unemployment and economic hardship. Too many of our young people are giving up because opportunities are limited. That is why we must continue to create jobs, empower our youths, and ensure that development reaches every community.”
The governor noted that workers and contractors handling projects across the state are committed to contributing meaningfully to the development of their host communities, adding that genuine efforts toward progress deserve the support of the people.
He assured that his administration would continue to award more projects to Julius Berger as part of efforts to expand employment opportunities and accelerate infrastructural renewal across Warri, Effurun and other parts of the state.
Speaking further, Oborevwori said his administration was yet to inaugurate the completed Trans Warri-Ode Itsekiri Roads and Bridges project, noting that the inauguration would take place after the completion of the Ubeji-Ifie Road.
“We are determined to complete important projects across the state, including roads, bridges and other critical infrastructure. Some of these projects may not yet be completed, but work is ongoing, and when they are completed, the people will enjoy the full benefits,” he said.
The governor expressed appreciation to workers and supporters for their commitment to the development agenda of the state government, assuring that government would remain focused on projects and policies that directly impact lives of the people.
He also prayed for God’s protection over workers, residents and road users across the state, expressing optimism that the ongoing projects would become enduring testimonies of progress and development in Delta State.
