Federal Government Lauded for Executing Development Projects in Delta Community
The Federal Government has received commendations for executing development projects in Delta State, specifically in the Emede community of Isoko South Local Government Area.
The praise came during the handover ceremony of blocks of classrooms to Eweri Primary School and Urie Primary School, facilitated by the children of late Chief George Agbaike, an educationist.
Speaking on behalf of the Agbaike family, Mr. Johnson Agbaike, a Public Relations Officer at Government House, Asaba, expressed joy at the Federal Government’s involvement in executing projects in the state. He acknowledged the efforts of his brothers, Dr. Jerry Agbaike and Engr. Gabriel Agbaike, in facilitating the projects, which align with their father’s legacy as a renowned educationist.
The handed-over projects include a block of two classrooms at Eweri Primary School and another block of two classrooms at Urie Primary School, both tastefully furnished and electrically powered by solar. Mr. Agbaike urged the community to attract more projects to Emede and thanked the Federal Government, through the Universal Basic Education Board (UBEC), for executing the projects.
Engr. Nelson Oyaigbevwen, receiving the projects on behalf of UBEC, thanked the Agbaikes for their facilitation and ensured that the projects were executed according to specifications. He emphasized the importance of protecting and properly utilizing the facilities, warning that UBEC officials would conduct regular maintenance checks.
President General of the Emede Community, Mr. Reuben Udogbo, and Headmistress of the primary schools, Mrs. Edafe Muno, also expressed gratitude to the Agbaikes, the Federal Government, and UBEC for the projects. Mrs. Muno assured that the facilities would be put into proper use.
This development highlights the collaborative efforts between the Federal Government, UBEC, and community stakeholders in improving educational infrastructure in Delta State. The projects are expected to enhance the learning environment and contribute to the overall development of the Emede community.
