ABUJA/Nigeria: Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North in the National Assembly, has congratulated the government and people of Delta State on the 34th anniversary of the state’s creation, describing its journey as one of resilience, diversity, and progress.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the senator joined millions of Deltans in reflecting on the state’s transformation over the past three decades, applauding the determination of its people and the strides made in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and human capital development.
“Delta State is a beacon of resilience, diversity, and progress in Nigeria’s federation. Thirty-four years of Delta is thirty-four years of collective struggles, triumphs, and aspirations,” Nwoko said.
He reserved special praise for Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s M.O.R.E Agenda, which he described as a blueprint for inclusive and equitable development across the state. According to him, if fully implemented, the initiative has the potential to uplift both urban centers and rural, riverine, and agrarian communities.
“The soul of our state lies not only in our cities but in our villages and riverine settlements, where our people most eagerly await the dividends of democracy,” he noted.
The senator also underscored the importance of empowering youths and women, whom he described as the backbone of Delta’s future. “The future belongs to our youths and women. They should be empowered with opportunities to thrive and sustain Delta’s legacy,” he said.
Nwoko called on leaders, stakeholders, and citizens to rally behind Governor Oborevwori’s administration, stressing that governance is a collective responsibility. He expressed optimism that united efforts would help realize the vision of a stronger and more inclusive Delta.
“As Delta State celebrates its 34th anniversary, we must renew our commitment to building the Delta of our dreams. Happy 34th Anniversary, Delta State,” Nwoko added.
