The Delta State Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, has reiterated that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration is delivering equitable development across all parts of the state, with visible projects in Isoko and beyond.
Addressing journalists at a press conference in Asaba, Aniagwu stressed that the MORE Agenda is being implemented in a way that benefits all 25 local government areas, the 10 federal constituencies, and the three senatorial districts of Delta State. He said the governor has in the past two years demonstrated fairness across every divide, ensuring no part of the state is left behind.
While acknowledging that citizens have the right to make demands on government, Aniagwu urged them to recognise ongoing progress rather than paint a picture of neglect. He was flanked by Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sir Festus Ahon; Executive Assistant on Public Enlightenment, Projects and Policies, Mr. Olisa Ifeajika; and Executive Assistant on Media, Norbert Chiazor.
Responding to criticisms from a section of the Isoko Nation, Aniagwu described such remarks as either politically motivated or made by persons unaware of the extensive development in their communities. He cited the recent State Executive Council approval of the Ogodogo–Ivu Access Road in Okpolo-Enhwe, Isoko South Local Government Area, at a cost of ₦5.1 billion, calling it a strategic link to major oil facilities.
He outlined several completed and ongoing projects in Isoko, including Otekpo Road in Elu, internal roads in Isoko South, the Uzere–Asaba-Ase Bridge, the Isoko Ring Road, Emede internal roads, the Enuru–Ikuli Access Road, Uruaka Express Link Road in Emede, Olomoro–Igbide Road, Emevor–Orogun Road Phase 1 and Phase 2, and Okpolo-Enhwe Internal Roads Phases 1 and 2, in addition to portions of the reconstructed Ughelli–Asaba Expressway.
Aniagwu also highlighted Isoko’s unique position as the only federal constituency in Delta hosting two state-owned universities — Southern Delta University, Ozoro, and the Oleh Campus of Delta State University. He noted that under Governor Oborevwori, the state has completed the College of Medical Sciences at Southern Delta University, finished the Senate Building and internal roads at the Ozoro campus, established the College of Health Technology in Ovrode, and equipped the General Hospital in Ozoro.
He revealed that within his first year in office, Governor Oborevwori had visited Isoko twice to commission projects, underscoring his commitment to the area. Aniagwu appealed to political actors to avoid “dirty politics” ahead of the 2027 elections and refrain from attempts to discredit the administration for partisan gain.
The commissioner assured that the government would not be distracted from its developmental goals and would continue to spread projects across the state. He encouraged Isoko residents to celebrate developments in other areas just as others do when Isoko benefits, insisting that no local government area is without the current administration’s footprint.
On the looming flood threat forecast for parts of Nigeria, Aniagwu disclosed that the state government has begun desilting drainages and water channels to reduce the impact. He urged residents to avoid dumping refuse in drains and advised those in flood-prone areas to relocate to higher ground ahead of possible flooding.
