The Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori has advised Deltans to see government projects as their own and protect them jealously.
In his remarks at the commissioning of the newly built Ultramodern Health facility at Ugborijo in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State by the Uvwie Local Government Council, on Monday, 26th September, 2022, the Speaker who is also the State PDP Governorship Candidate, Rt Hon Oborevwori said that when government facilities are classified as “government properties” they become vulnerable.
In his words; “I wish to advise our people to see government projects as their own. When government facilities are classified as “government properties”, they become vulnerable. Therefore, I enjoin the good people of Uvwie to take ownership of this facility so that they will continue to enjoy it services”.
The State PDP Governorship Candidate said that; “This project is a demonstration of extension of priority placed on healthcare service delivery by the Delta State government. Let me therefore commend the Chairman of Uvwie Local Government Council, Hon. Ramson Tega Onoyake for this laudable initiative. I believe this facility will no doubt positively impact the lives of people in this community and environs. It will bring primary health care services closer to the people in Uvwie Local Government Area”.
The Speaker who is also the National Deputy Chairman of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria added that; “Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, permit me to state that our amiable Governor and PDP Vice Presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has initiated several reforms in the health sector and expanded health care services across our state. A remarkable example is the Delta State Contributory Health Insurance Scheme, which is designed to reduce the cost of medical expenses and make access to medical treatment easy”.
“Therefore, it is a thing of joy that the leadership of Uvwie Local Government Council, led by the Chairman, Ramson Tega Onoyake embarked on this laudable project of bringing health care services to the grassroots and I appreciate the giant stride of the leadership of the council. Thank you for a job well done. This is what we owe our people” Rt Hon Oborevwori said.
He also commended the Legislative Arm of the Council for its support for making the dream a reality and urged the staff of the Ultramodern facility to stay focused on the goals of the project, offer the best of their services and ensure that the Health facility becomes a reference point.
