Delta State Government has called on multi-national companies, nongovernmental organizations, philanthropists and well to do Deltans both at home and in the diaspora to contribute their quota in fast-tracking sustainable development in all parts of the state.
Governor Sheriff Oborevwori made the call while inaugurating a block of six classrooms each in four secondary schools at OgwashiUku in Aniocha South Local Government Area of the state which were renovated by members of Ogwashi-Uku Association, USA Inc.
The four schools that benefited from the Association’s gesture were Adaigbo Mixed Secondary School, Comprehensive Secondary School, Saint Roses Girls Grammar School and Nshiagu College all in Ogwashi-Uku. Rt. Hon. Oborevwori, who commended sons and daughters of Ogwashi-Uku based in the United States of America for their laudable gesture, called on well spirited individuals to follow their footsteps as government alone could not address the entire needs of the people.
He said the state has 489 secondary schools, 51,000 employees, 12,900 local government employees as well as other commitments, hence the need for reliable partnership. “I am so happy that you are not just building physical infrastructure, you are also equipping them.
So, we would like to thank you for this gesture,” he said. Meanwhile, the governor charged various communities in the state to protect all government projects in their domains from vandals, even as he solicited the support of all in ensuring that peace reigned in all parts of the state.
Earlier in his address on the Association, Dr. Henrietta Udensi, underscored the importance of education in societal growth and development, adding that it was the best legacy parents could bequeath their children.
