The National Association of Seadogs, popularly known as the Pyrates Confraternity, has raised serious concern over the alarming surge of drug abuse and illicit trafficking in Asaba, Delta State, warning that the situation now poses a grave threat to public health and security.
In a strongly worded statement, the Capoon of the Vito Corsica Deck, covering Aniocha/Oshimili and Ika Federal Constituencies, Mr. Michael Chukwuma Nwaidei, expressed deep frustration at what he described as the complacency of the Delta State Government and its relevant agencies in addressing the growing drug menace, particularly among young people.
Nwaidei identified a notorious hotspot along Okpanam Road—by Alpha Bykees Petrol Station, near Sweet Spirit Hotels—where, according to him, young men openly trade in hard drugs, even in broad daylight.
“That particular junction has become a lawless zone,” he said. “Every day, these young boys run under the tunnel to collect drugs and then freely sell them opposite Alpha Bykees Petrol Station, near Playlearn School, and at the Midwifery Market junction. The brazen nature of these activities is disturbing.”
He lamented that despite repeated calls and reports to the authorities, no significant action has been taken to clamp down on the illegal drug trade, allowing the menace to thrive unchecked.
The Pyrates Confraternity warned that continued neglect of the problem could plunge the community deeper into crime, moral decay, and insecurity.
“Drug addiction not only destroys individuals but also breeds other dangerous social vices that can destabilize our society,” the statement read.
The group called on the Delta State Government and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to immediately intensify surveillance and launch decisive enforcement operations in the identified drug hotspots.
“We appeal to the authorities to act swiftly and save our youths from this creeping epidemic before it spirals beyond control,” Nwaidei urged.
The Governing Council of Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku, has firmly rejected calls by the Delta State Commissioner for Higher Education, Prof. Nyerhovwo Tonukari, to reinstate the suspended Rector of the institution, Bldr. (Prof.) Emmanuel Achuenu.
In a strongly worded letter dated July 9, 2025, and addressed to the Commissioner, the Council, led by its Chairman, Hon. Pst. Paul Adingwupu, insisted that the suspension of Prof. Achuenu over allegations of financial misconduct and gross indiscipline was carried out in strict compliance with the law.
Citing Part IV, Section 17(i) of the Delta State Polytechnic Law, the Council asserted that it possesses the statutory authority to discipline the Rector, noting that the law clearly distinguishes between the Rector’s academic and executive roles and the Council’s supervisory powers.
Prof. Emmanuel Achuenu
The Council further dismissed the Commissioner’s reference to Chapter 6, Section 6.5.1 of the Polytechnic’s Staff Terms and Conditions of Service, arguing that those provisions apply only to other categories of staff, not the Rector, who himself exercises disciplinary powers over staff.
According to the Council, Prof. Achuenu was issued a formal query over the allegations but failed to provide a satisfactory explanation. He was subsequently invited to appear before the Council for clarification but allegedly refused to do so. His suspension, the Council stressed, followed due process and was in the best interest of the institution.
To buttress its position, the Council attached key documents—including the query, the Rector’s response, and the invitation for a hearing—as annexures to the letter.
Responding to the Commissioner’s demand for the Rector’s reinstatement, the Council maintained that only the Executive Governor of Delta State has the authority to overturn its decision. It further warned that the Commissioner, as a statutory member of the Council, lacks the legal capacity to unilaterally reverse any Council resolution.
Quoting Section 9 of the Delta State Polytechnic Law, the Council emphasized its powers to formulate policies, manage finances, and make decisions to advance the Polytechnic’s objectives.
“In the light of the foregoing and in the absence of any violation of applicable laws by the Council, we are unable to accede to your directive. Accordingly, the Rector remains suspended in line with the Council’s resolution,” the letter read.
The Council also copied the letter to the Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. (Elder) Sheriff Oborevwori, signaling a potential need for his intervention to resolve the standoff.
The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has reaffirmed its commitment to completing abandoned strategic projects that will deliver meaningful impacts across the Niger Delta region.
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Commission, Chief Samuel Ogbuku, made this known in Asaba during a world press briefing marking the 25th anniversary of the NDDC.
Chief Ogbuku revealed that President Bola Tinubu had directed the Commission to prioritize the completion of high-value legacy projects, many of which had already received significant funding in the past.
He explained that it would be wasteful to abandon such projects, stressing the need to revisit and complete them to justify the resources previously invested for the development of the region.
Highlighting key achievements under the current board led by Chairman Chiedu Ebie, Chief Ogbuku expressed satisfaction over the completion of the multi-billion-naira Okitipupa electrification project, which restored electricity to Ondo South after 15 years of darkness.
“Today, the people of Ondo South have light again after so many years. That is something we are proud of,” he said.
He also noted that several abandoned projects had been completed in Edo, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Imo, and Rivers States. In addition, the Commission has executed several new initiatives, including the construction of NDDC state offices and the distribution of 45,000 tablets preloaded with educational materials to students across the region.
Speaking on major infrastructure projects, Chief Ogbuku mentioned the revival of the 27.1-kilometer Bonny Ring Road, previously abandoned but now revived through a partnership with the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG). He disclosed that the contractor has been mobilized and work is underway.
He also discussed plans for the construction of the 67-kilometer Escravos Road in partnership with Chevron, the Delta State Government, and potentially the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC). Discussions on this project, which will feature several bridges, are ongoing.
Chief Ogbuku highlighted other ongoing efforts, including the continuation of the Commission’s foreign scholarship program, with 200 beneficiaries each receiving $40,000. He also announced the introduction of a local postgraduate scholarship scheme.
On healthcare, he said thousands of women, youths, and children had benefited from NDDC’s free medical outreach, which will now be conducted twice annually in all nine states of the region.
In agriculture, Chief Ogbuku said the Commission would intensify efforts in collaboration with partners to enhance food security and agricultural productivity.
He commended President Bola Tinubu for his strong backing, as well as the Minister of Niger Delta Development, Abubakar Momoh, and both past and present governors of the region for their contributions to the Commission’s progress.
Addressing concerns about the Commission’s budget, Chief Ogbuku clarified that the NDDC was not in possession of ₦1.9 trillion, noting that the figure reflected the Commission’s cumulative budget and a proposed loan facility yet to be accessed. However, he admitted that the NDDC had witnessed improved funding under the current administration compared to previous ones.
Also speaking, the Chairman of the NDDC Board, Mr. Chiedu Ebie, pledged that the Commission would continue to work diligently to improve the lives of Niger Delta residents.
Mr. Ebie praised the media for its crucial role as a watchdog and partner in public engagement, stating that the Commission values its relationship with journalists.
The Governing Council of Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku has suspended the Rector of the institution, Buldr. (Prof.) Emmanuel Achuenu, following allegations bordering on financial recklessness, corruption, abuse of office, and gross misconduct.
Delta State Polytechnic Ogwashi-Uku
In a letter seen by this publication, the Council communicated the decision to Prof. Achuenu, with copies forwarded to the Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Francis Oborevwori, and the Commissioner for Higher Education, Prof. Nyerhovwo Tonukari, the Governing Council expressed deep concern over the rector’s failure to respond adequately to a series of grave allegations despite being given ample opportunity to do so.
According to the Council, Prof. Achuenu was invited to appear before the Council to respond to detailed allegations, including an unauthorized expenditure of One Hundred and Eleven Million, Eight Hundred and Sixty Thousand Naira (N111,860,000), which was N42 million in excess of the amount approved for an accreditation exercise. Rather than comply, the rector allegedly ignored the Council’s directive, an action seen as a deliberate attempt to frustrate ongoing institutional reforms.
Consequently, during its statutory meeting, the Governing Council unanimously resolved to suspend Prof. Achuenu for an initial period of six months with effect from Friday, July 4, 2025. The Deputy Rector has been directed to assume the role in an acting capacity.

However, documents obtained by this investigative reporter reveal a slew of serious allegations against the embattled rector. These include:
• Unlawful diversion of Polytechnic funds into the personal account of the Registrar for the unauthorized purchase of vehicles for principal officers.
• Unauthorized sale of Polytechnic assets without Council approval, contravening Delta State Government auction laws.
• Illegal withdrawals from the Nigeria Polytechnic Games Association (NIPOGA) account.
• Failure to remove the names of 19 deceased or absconded staff from the state payroll, despite Council directives.
• Employment of 19 permanent staff without Council approval, as well as the unauthorized recruitment of over 214 ad-hoc staff.
• Obstruction of the Council’s statutory meetings and disrespectful conduct, including lateness, talking down on Council members, and staging walkouts.
• Refusal to implement Council decisions, including the suspension of the institution’s Registrar and Bursar.
• Unexplained expenditure of N3.92 million purportedly as balance payment for generators that had already been fully paid for in 2023.
• Release of N6 million to a contractor, Chulico Best Ventures, for renovation of the Polytechnic Event Centre, despite no work having commenced.
• Irregular approval of N15 million for solar light repairs, contrary to an existing Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the solar service provider.
In response to mounting concerns over alleged certificate racketeering and systemic corruption, the Governing Council, under the leadership of Hon. (Pastor) Paul Adingwupu, initiated sweeping reforms aimed at sanitizing the institution in alignment with Governor Oborevwori’s M.O.R.E Agenda, which prioritizes transparency, institutional accountability, and educational excellence across Delta State.
As part of this clean-up initiative, the Council earlier set up an investigative panel to ensure due process and fair hearing for all accused officials. Following investigations, the institution’s Registrar, Dr. Jude Okocha, was also suspended.
A senior staff member of the Polytechnic, who spoke to this publication on condition of anonymity, expressed support for the Council’s action. “The era of impunity must end if we are serious about building a credible academic system. We support every genuine effort to restore order, accountability, integrity and excellence to our institution.”
Efforts to obtain a response from Prof. Achuenu were unsuccessful, as multiple calls to his mobile line went unanswered. However, what reportedly followed his suspension was disturbing; as the rector allegedly returned to the institution accompanied by suspected thugs, locked up the Council Secretariat, and issued a redeployment letter for Council staff. He was reported to have boasted that the Governing Council had been dissolved by higher authorities, a claim many described as audacious and unbecoming of an academic leader.
Delta State Polytechnic Ogwashi-Uku
This development has raised critical questions as to: Who are the “powers from above” emboldening Prof. Achuenu to act with such impunity? Who is shielding him from the consequences of his alleged misconduct? These are questions that demand urgent answers from stakeholders committed to good governance, accountability, and the development of our educational sector.
As investigations continue, both the Polytechnic community and the public await the next steps in what is shaping up to be a landmark drive for integrity, transparency and reform in Delta State’s higher education sector.

Former Worldwide 2nd Vice President of the University of Ibadan Alumni Association (UIAA), Chief Sir Francis Odion, has praised past and current leadership of the association while calling for deeper respect for the UIAA constitution and unity among its members.
Chief Odion made the remarks when he received the Worldwide President of UIAA, Dr. Terrumun Hembaor Gajir, at his residence in Benin City, during Gajir’s ongoing peace and consolidation visitation to UIAA Branches and Chapters across the country.
Governor B. Zulum of Borno State and Prof. Kemi Emina
Reflecting on the association’s journey, Chief Odion attributed UIAA’s rise to global recognition to the transformational leadership of former President, Professor Kemi Emina.
“Until Prof. Emina became president, UIAA wasn’t this globally known. He brought the association into the limelight. He built the foundation of what we enjoy today. I admire his selfless spirit,” he said.
Odion, who also served as Chairman of the Edo State Branch and is a retired Permanent Secretary, described Dr. Gajir as “cool-headed and focused,” expressing confidence in his ability to preserve and build upon the legacies of past leaders.
He, however, cautioned against the rising tide of internal disagreements, urging members to align with the association’s constitution. “Many of those causing problems are fully aware of the constitution but choose to disregard it. That is the root of the crisis,” he observed.
Odion recalled his pivotal role in presiding over the last constitutional amendment exercise during his tenure as 2nd Vice President, emphasizing that respect for the constitution remains critical to UIAA’s growth and stability.
Prof. Kemi Emina
Sharing his personal sacrifices, he narrated how he once collapsed and was hospitalized during an official assignment in service to the association. He also spoke about stepping down his presidential ambition in support of Prof. Elsie Olufunke Adewoye, to promote equitable regional representation.
“That move made it possible for the presidency to eventually rotate to the North, leading to the emergence of Prof. S. G. Nyityo. UIAA is a national institution, and its leadership must reflect its diversity,” Odion added.
He expressed delight that Edo State was the first branch visited by President Gajir, describing it as an honour and a testament to the branch’s enduring contributions to the association.
In response, Dr. Terrumun Hembaor Gajir, accompanied by the Chairman of the Edo Branch, Prof. O. B. Osadolor, thanked the elder statesman for his warm reception and invaluable advice.
He reaffirmed his commitment to fostering peace and unity within the UIAA family, calling on members to separate personal grievances from the collective interests of the association.

“We are one family. UIAA must not be a platform for personal vendettas. This visit is about reconciliation, learning from our elders, and building bridges,” Gajir stated.
The interaction between the two leaders underlined a shared desire for constitutionalism, rotational leadership, and unity in diversity, setting a hopeful tone for UIAA’s future.
Communities in Delta State have been urged to strengthen their Community Health Development Committees (CHDCs) to drive household-level malaria prevention through increased use of mosquito nets, early testing, and improved health education.
This call was made by Sir Austin Uwede, the State Programme Officer of the Civil Society in Malaria Control, Immunization, and Nutrition (ACOMIN), during a media briefing in Asaba on the Global Fund Malaria Community-Led Monitoring Project currently being implemented in the state.
Uwede emphasized that the private sector must begin to recognize malaria as a major productivity issue and contribute meaningfully to its eradication. He called for greater corporate involvement through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives such as support for Insecticide-Treated Net (ITN) campaigns, upgrading health facilities, and training healthcare workers.
He also stressed the critical role of the media in reorienting community leaders and stakeholders toward active ownership of primary healthcare facilities in their areas. According to him, increased community participation will significantly improve the effectiveness of healthcare services.
Highlighting some of ACOMIN’s successes under the project, Uwede noted the rehabilitation of a water pumping machine at a Primary Healthcare Centre (PHC) in Ughelli South, restoration of electricity and donation of plastic chairs to Jeddo PHC in Okpe, and the ejection of illegal occupants from staff quarters at Owhelogbo PHC in Isoko North. He also cited the donation of a blood pressure apparatus by the community and provision of waste bins by a local motorcycle (Okada) rider to Isheagu General Hospital in Aniocha South as examples of commendable community support.
Uwede expressed confidence that continued collaboration with the media would amplify awareness of ACOMIN’s interventions, encouraging more community leaders to embrace and support the project for the benefit of their people.
In his opening remarks, the Delta State Chairman of ACOMIN, Pastor Greg Sifo, described the media briefing as a vital platform to reflect on the progress made so far and to reinforce strategies to ensure that no community is left behind in ACOMIN’s health initiatives.
He noted that the media plays a pivotal role in mobilizing community members for meetings, workshops, and joint activities, as well as announcing volunteer opportunities and encouraging public participation in decision-making. Pastor Sifo added that media engagement is crucial for informing the public about health concerns such as malaria prevention, vaccination campaigns, project goals, and available services.
Representatives of various partner organizations also gave goodwill messages at the event. They included Joy Dibashi of the State Malaria Elimination Program (SMEP); Mrs. Grace Sifo of the Delta State Agency for the Control of HIV/AIDS; Mrs. Mercy Momoh of the Society for Family Health; Mr. Azubuike of the Delta State Primary Healthcare Development Agency; and Dr. Yinusa Adekola representing the Muslim community.
They commended ACOMIN for its interventions in healthcare facilities across the state and stressed the importance of regular mosquito net usage and clearing of overgrown vegetation—especially now, as the rainy season intensifies.
Addressing the issue of test kits, Mrs. Sifo disclosed that arrangements were already at an advanced stage for their procurement. She noted that the Agency had paid an advocacy visit to the Secretary to the State Government to address the current shortage of test kits in some health facilities.
In his remarks, Mr. Azubuike revealed that the Delta State Government, in partnership with global bodies such as the World Bank, is currently undertaking renovation works across several Primary Healthcare Centres. He assured that facilities yet to be renovated would soon benefit from the exercise.

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Saturday, vowed never to succumb to any form of intimidation or blackmail in the discharge of his duties.
Wike vowed to take out anybody who attempts to sabotage his efforts of transforming the FCT.
Speaking during an inspection visit to the IBB International Golf and Country Club in Abuja, Wike vowed never to allow anybody to takeover Federal government’s facility.
The Minister pledged to restore the Golf club back to its old glory.
Crisis over structural reforms had led to an indefinite shut down of the Abuja Golf Club.
However, Wike said: “We will not allow anybody to take what belongs to the federal government. No amount of blackmail will change me. If anyone moves to sabotage me, I will take you out.
“Government is not a good manager, hence why we appointed the interim management committee. You can’t take over the club because we appointed you to manage the club.”
The Minister assured of renovating the club house but urged the institution to pay ground rent.
Wike vowed to seal the club if it fails to pay ground rent.
Lately, Wike has been critical on the payment of ground rent in Abuja, stressing that the capital city survives on tax and not allocation.
“We will invite Julius Berger, who originally built this club, to see how we can begin the renovation in phases. I will seal the club if the ground rent is not paid,” he said.
Commenting, the chairman Board for Trustees, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem appealed to Wike intervene in the club’s crisis.
Dongban-Mensem said the club will improve the economy when renovated.
ASABA — The management of PWANMAX Group, a subsidiary of the renowned real estate conglomerate Property World Africa Network (PWAN Group), has debunked recent claims of land encroachment by one of its clients, Mr. Osemele Theophilus Marshal, describing the allegations as false, misleading, and an attempt to smear the company’s reputation.
In a statement issued to journalists on Thursday, the Chairman of PWANMAX Group, Dr. Augustine Onwumere, clarified that Mr. Osemele purchased a 928-square-meter plot of land in 2021 at the company’s Max Height Estate located along Admiralty Drive, Umuedi, off Ibusa Expressway, Delta State. According to Onwumere, the plot was fully allocated that same year, but the client failed to fence or develop the land, as required by the company’s policy to prevent encroachment.
“Clients are expected to either fence or commence development on their plots shortly after allocation,” Dr. Onwumere stated. “Mr. Osemele ignored this directive for over four years, despite visiting the land on multiple occasions while in Nigeria.”
The company said it was surprised when Mr. Osemele recently alleged that his plot had been encroached upon. Investigations revealed that the demarcation beacons were no longer visible, likely due to prolonged neglect and third-party activity within the estate.
“Once he brought the issue to our attention, we acted swiftly,” the statement continued. “The company worked with Mr. Osemele’s own surveyor to reestablish the correct boundaries. His plot was recaptured in full—928 square meters—and re-demarcated accordingly.”
To further protect the client’s interests, PWANMAX said it constructed a dwarf fence around the plot at its own expense to avoid future disputes. A new registered survey plan and deed of assignment were also issued to Mr. Osemele.
“Despite our goodwill and the proactive steps we took to rectify the situation, Mr. Osemele has not acknowledged or appreciated the company’s efforts,” Dr. Onwumere noted. “We are now requesting that he reimburses the company for the cost of the fence, and most importantly, desists from spreading false and damaging information.”
PWANMAX reassured its clients and the general public of its unwavering commitment to professionalism, customer satisfaction, and integrity in all real estate dealings.
It will be recalled that Mr. Osemele Theophilus Marshal recently petitioned the Delta State Commissioner of Police, CP Olufemi Abaniwonda, over alleged encroachment on his land. He also accused some PWAN staff of conniving with agents to distort the boundaries of his property—an accusation the company says is baseless, especially after having resolved the issue and restored his plot in full.
PWAN Group
“We remain focused on delivering value to our clients,” the company added, “and no amount of blackmail will derail our commitment to excellence in the real estate sector.”
Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku, once a flagship of academic excellence, is now engulfed in a deepening crisis, with disturbing allegations of corruption, certificate racketeering, and administrative failure. But in a twist that has rattled public confidence, the Ministerial Committee set up to investigate the scandal is itself under fire—accused of ethnic bias, political interference, and an attempted whitewash.
What began as a probe into institutional rot is now spiraling into a crisis of credibility for the investigating panel.
Panel Under Scrutiny
At the heart of the controversy is the composition of the Ministerial Committee. Independent investigations reveal that at least three members, including the embattled Rector Professor Emmanuel Achuenu, share the same Ndokwa ethnic heritage. The Committee is chaired by Hon. Christopher Ifeanyi Osakwe, an appointee with close political ties to powerful figures in the state, while Mrs. Bridget Odobor, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Higher Education, serves as Secretary.
Observers say the panel’s structure appears skewed in favour of the Rector, raising serious concerns over the integrity and neutrality of the investigation.
“Appointing close associates and ethnic allies of the Rector to lead this probe is an insult to justice,” a senior academic staff member remarked. “How can they be expected to hold him accountable?”
Allegations of Interference and Manipulation
Sources within the institution allege that Professor Achuenu is working behind the scenes to influence the Committee’s outcome. Ties between him and several panel members reportedly predate the investigation, prompting fears that the process is compromised.
One whistleblower told reporters: “The Rector is fighting hard to control the narrative. He’s mobilizing political connections to suppress key testimonies and protect his loyalists.”
Delta State Polytechnic Ogwashi-Uku
The Rector’s vague public response—”We are waiting for the Ministerial Committee’s report”—has done little to allay public concerns.
Weak Investigations, Strong Evidence
According to insider accounts, the Committee has conducted only a shallow review of the allegations, interviewing a limited number of people, including suspended Registrar Jude Okocha and Nduka Charles, both previously linked to certificate fraud.
Meanwhile, fresh allegations of financial mismanagement have surfaced. Professor Achuenu is accused of spending N48 million without proper documentation during the last accreditation process and authorizing over N500 million in expenditures without due process.
Equally troubling are accusations that key figures involved in forgery rackets remain in the system—protected by the Rector despite overwhelming evidence against them.
A Campus in Disarray
Morale among staff is at an all-time low, with many accusing the Rector of using divide-and-rule tactics to silence dissent. Administrative systems have reportedly broken down, and fears are growing that degrees from the institution may be rejected internationally due to its tainted image.
“This is no longer an internal matter,” one lecturer warned. “The credibility of our graduates is on the line.”
The crisis has echoes of a similar battle in 2018, when then-Rector Professor Stella Chiemeke (now Vice Chancellor of Delta State University, Agbor) waged a war against certificate fraud. Sadly, insiders believe the corrupt networks she fought so hard to dismantle have resurfaced—stronger and more deeply embedded.
Calls for Government Action
A leading civil rights organization has lauded Governor Rt. Hon. (Elder) Sheriff Francis Oborevwori for his reforms in the education sector, but is calling for urgent intervention.
“The government’s efforts to revamp tertiary education risk being derailed,” the group said in a statement. “We urge the Governor to reconstitute the probe panel with respected, independent professionals who have no links to the parties involved.”
Alarmingly, some staff in the Registry Department—allegedly involved in forgery cases—continue to operate freely, and in some cases, defend accused persons in court.
The Final Plea: Restore Trust Now
Pressure is now mounting on Governor Oborevwori to restore public trust by acting decisively.
“The current Committee has lost credibility,” said one union representative. “We need an impartial team that reflects fairness, not loyalty. The Governor must act swiftly—the world is watching.”
A faculty member summed it up poignantly: “We cannot let our children suffer for the sins of a few. Delta Polytechnic was once a leading institution in Nigeria. We must fight to reclaim its honour.”
As the Polytechnic community—and the state at large—await the Governor’s next move, one thing is clear: the battle to rescue Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku, from systemic decay has only just begun.
Hon. (Pastor) Paul Adingwupu, a foremost political and community leader in Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State, has joined thousands of well-wishers to felicitate the Governor of Delta State, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. (Elder) Sheriff Francis Oborevwori, on the occasion of his 62nd birthday.
In a goodwill message made available to the press, Hon. (Pastor) Adingwupu extolled Governor Oborevwori as “a visionary leader whose impactful presence continues to foster unity and drive sustainable development across the state.”
According to him, the current administration, under the leadership of Governor Oborevwori, has brought about “remarkable and transformative progress in key sectors of the state’s economy, through pragmatic governance, people-centred policies, and an unwavering commitment to the welfare of all Deltans.”
Hon. Adingwupu further prayed for divine wisdom, good health, and renewed strength for the Governor, to enable him to continue to lead the state to even greater heights.
“I heartily wish His Excellency a joyful birthday celebration and many more fruitful years of purposeful leadership in the service of Delta State and humanity,” he concluded.
