The Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, on Tuesday, said his administration would collaborate with security agencies in tackling the issues of kidnapping, cultism, and other crimes in the state.
Oborevwori stated this in his remarks at a thanksgiving service to mark the 33rd anniversary of the state’s creation at the Government House Chapel, Asaba.
He said, “On security across the state, I pledge to continue doing my best to ensure peace and security in the state. Only through sustainable peace can enduring development thrive in the state.
“My administration had continued to put the state ahead in terms of development by investing heavily in infrastructural development in all sectors of the state’s economy.
“In the past 15 months, we have demonstrated our resolve to keep Delta State ahead in all social and economic development indices.
“We are investing massively in infrastructural renewal, upgrading our health care institutions, improving the learning climate in our schools, and assisting the poor and vulnerable through our social investment programmes.
“We are also collaborating with security agencies in tackling the issues of kidnapping, cultism, and other crimes to ensure that safety and security of all residents in Delta State is guaranteed.
“Like I promised Deltans in my MORE Agenda, we will continue to enhance peace and security ; we are doing our best because when you look at what is happening in other states, you will know that we are trying as a state.
“I know that there are lots of challenges, but I will continue to encourage the security agencies; we will continue to partner to ensure peace in Delta State because it is only through sustainable peace that development can come to this state.”
Earlier in his sermon titled; “The Power Of Collective Thanksgiving,” the State Mission Overseer of Living Faith Church, Pastor Shiyanbade Adekunle, said every Deltan owed God immense thanks for the great things that He has been doing in their lives in particular and the state in general.
