The Chief Adviser to the Governor of Delta State, Senator Ighoyota Amori, has commended the Governor of Delta state, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori for what he described as a bold and decisive start to governance in 2026 following the approval of over ₦400 billion worth of infrastructure and security projects by the State Executive Council.
Amori gave the commendation on Saturday in Benin City, Edo state while speaking with journalists after representing the governor at the 80th birthday celebration of Rev. Felix Omobude, the General Superintendent of Gospel Light International Ministries.
The Chief Adviser, who attended the first State Executive Council meeting of 2026, said the approvals demonstrate Governor Oborevwori’s commitment to delivering on the promises he made to the people of Delta State.
According to him, the governor has shown clear determination to sustain the momentum of development through strategic investments in road infrastructure, security architecture, education and institutional strengthening across the state.
“What we witnessed at the first Executive Council meeting of the year clearly shows that our Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has started 2026 in very strong strides,” Amori said.
“Approving projects worth over ₦400 billion across several local government areas is not just about numbers; it is about fulfilling the promises made to Deltansand ensuring that development reaches every part of the state.”
Amori noted that the wide spread of projects across multiple local government areas reflects the administration’s deliberate policy of equitable development and inclusive governance.
He particularly praised the governor for strengthening the security framework of the state through the approval of a Special Protection Unit (SPU) base of the Nigeria Police and the planned construction of Divisional Police Headquarters in all 25 local government areas.
“Security is the foundation of development. The governor understands that without safety, economic activities cannot thrive. By investing in security infrastructure alongside roads and other projects, he is creating the environment for businesses and communities to flourish,” he added.
The Chief Adviser further stated that Governor Oborevwori’s approach to governance reflects prudent management of public resources and a deep sense of responsibility to the people.
“The resources being used belong to Delta State and to all Deltans. What the governor is demonstrating is that he can manage these resources responsibly on behalf of the people and deliver value for their money,” Amori said.
He emphasized that the scale of approvals shows that the governor is focused on leaving a lasting legacy of development in the state.
“Governor Oborevwori came with a clear vision to leave behind enduring infrastructure and stronger institutions. What we saw at the Exco meeting is a practical demonstration of that commitment.”
Amori also highlighted that the projects, which cut across road construction, rehabilitation, education infrastructure, judicial facilities and market access roads, will stimulate economic activities, improve connectivity among communities and create employment opportunities.
He urged Deltans to continue supporting the administration as it works to deepen the state’s development trajectory under the governor’s MORE Agenda.
“This administration is focused on results. Deltans can be confident that the government will continue to deploy resources in ways that directly improve the lives of the people,” he stated.
The Delta State Executive Council had approved the projects during its first Excomeeting this year presided over by Governor Oborevwori, covering several local government areas including Warri South, Ughelli North, Ethiope East, EthiopeWest, Aniocha South, Ika North-East, Ndokwa West, Bomadi, Burutu, Isoko North and many others.
