“Despite the difficulties in embarking on projects in the Riverine communities, Governor Okowa within four years as Governor has been able to reach out to Ijaws Communities in Delta state by embarking on lasting projects, appointing sons and Daughters from the riverine communities into his administration and empowering of youths.
