Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, governor of Delta State, has described the completion of several road infrastructure projects as “undeniable proof” that his administration is delivering on its promises to the people, insisting that good governance should be measured not only by projects completed but by the tangible improvement in citizens’ lives.
Speaking at the commissioning of recently completed roads in the state, Mr Oborevwori told residents that his government remained “firmly committed” to building transport corridors that strengthen communities, bolster livelihoods, and fulfil the aspirations of ordinary Deltans.
“Progress is measured not just by projects completed, but by the lives transformed along the way,” the governor said. “With every kilometre built and every corridor opened, this government continues to renew its promise to do more, because true leadership is remembered through impact, service, and the legacy it leaves behind.”
Reaffirming his administration’s focus on infrastructure, he told the gathering: “It is undeniable proof that this administration has met the desire and expectations of the people.
“I want to reassure Deltans and residents in the state that we shall redouble our efforts to provide critical road infrastructure for our collective good and prosperity.”
Mr Oborevwori acknowledged the direct economic benefits that motorable roads bring to local populations, particularly in rural and peri-urban areas long plagued by poor connectivity.
“We are mindful of the fact that our people stand to gain more once the road is in good motorable condition,” he said. “We are doing our best because I believe that if there is something you should be remembered for, it is the things you have done in government that you will be remembered for, and I want to assure all of you that we will continue to do more.”
The governor’s remarks come amid an accelerated push under his MORE agenda to upgrade hundreds of kilometres of roads across Delta’s three senatorial districts, a programme the administration says is designed to ease transportation costs, boost agricultural marketing, and attract private investment.
Local residents and community leaders at the event welcomed the new roads, with several describing them as long-overdue lifelines for commerce and social mobility in the oil-rich but infrastructure-challenged Niger Delta state.
