DESOPADEC indigenous contractors visit Olu Of Warri, seek royal blessings

Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC) Indigenous Contractors Forum on Monday visited the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III for his royal blessings.

Chairman of the Forum, Eng. Ogie Samson, in a statement on Tuesday, said the monarch received his executives warmly and prayed for them to prosper in their work.

“It was a great day, when some of the executives of the DESOPADEC Indigenous Contractors Forum went to pay homage and visit to Ogiame Atuwatse III, the Olu of warri. The olu of warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III is a King with regards for Deltans, youths and humanity at large. He welcomed Indigenous Contractors with love.

“It was a visit that showed respect and honour to our traditional ruler in Warri kingdom and other traditional rulers in the oil rich communities in Delta State. A prayer was made in the palace for all indigenes who are contractors from all the oil rich region in Delta State.”

Engr Ogie Samson also said the visit was to show that Indigenous Contractors were to be seen as primary beneficiaries of dividends of proceeds from the 13% derivation through direct award of contracts to indigenes.

While commending the State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori for his outstanding achievements since he assumed office, he however again sought for an audience to enable his members intimate him about challenges confronting them in the discharge of their contracts.

“Though, we believe the present Governor is trying his best for the good of Deltans. It is not out of place to hear directly from Indigenous Contractors to know what exactly Indigenes who are contractors are going through and how to resolve areas of challenges, as this acts has led to misinformation leading to mistakes of past governors in regards to Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC)”, he said.
