Edevbie Congratulates Delta At 30, Says The Future Is Bright For The State
ASABA/Nigeria: Olorogun David Edevbie has congratulated Deltans on the occasion of the state 31 years anniversary, giving tribute to all age distribution for their contributions to the growth of the state’s economy and infrastructure.
He made this in a statement made available to www.ndokwareporters.com on Saturday, August 27, 2022.
He stated that the state had accomplished a lot since 1999 in terms of physical and human development and Deltans can be proud of it.
“From its creation in 1991 and into the current democratic dispensation in 1999 till date, we have accomplished tremendous progress in terms of physical and human development for which all Deltans can be proud and grateful to God.”
“Through these years, roads and bridges have been built to connect our various communities; various social infrastructures have been established to cater for the needs of the people, but most important is that we have upheld our diversity with pride and protected our unity against all odds.”
“For these, I congratulate all Deltans in recognition that everyone, men and women, young and old, rural and urban, has contributed to the process, individually and collectively.”
He also gave tributes to Governor Okowa and his former governors for their collective contribution to the development of the state, and other leaders in the state.
“I commend successive Governors of the State, especially their Excellencies, Chief James Onanefe Ibori, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, and Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, for their continued provision of quality and visionary leadership and direction.”
“I also commend our traditional rulers and various leaders of our communities as well as leaders of political, spiritual, civic, business, sports, education, health, and security institutions for their contributions and commitment to the growth of our state and its peace and harmony.”
“Of particular note also is the Peoples Democratic Party and its leadership from inception till date for their efforts in maintaining the political harmony and stability of our state in the last two decades.”
“Indeed, we cannot claim that we have attained our best. We are still far from achieving the Delta State of our dreams as it is still a work in progress.”
“However, with gratitude to Almighty God for blessing us with colossal mineral, agricultural, water, land, and above all, talented human resources, we must remain resolute in optimising these to achieve the great and manifest destiny God designed for us.”
“The past 31 years have been primarily focused on building structures and strengthening our institutions. As we advance in age, we must now accelerate our development strides to attain a new world of greater industrial, commercial, and technological prowess by which the world will reckon with us in various fields of human endeavours, and our young men and women can realise a brighter future.”
“Delta must redefine its capacity for productivity, commercial success, and economic prosperity.”
“This is achievable with strong-willed leadership, able to break new ground and the commitment to inclusive development for our entire citizenry.”
“A bright future awaits Delta, and as we look ahead to this next stage of our march of progress, I urge all Deltans to uphold the ideals of mutual love, peace, tolerance, and determination, which are preconditions for a modernised state.”
