Association of Community Newspaper Publishers of Nigeria, ACNPN Delta State chapter rising from her extraordinary general meeting held today at the association’s Secretariat at Asaba commended His Excellency Rt Hon Elder Sheriff Oborevwori for taking bold step of on-the-spot assessment of projects executed by various contractors in the state.
According to the association’s chairman Comrade Ike Abiagom the commendation has become necessary because never had the state had it real good like this. “With this action the governor has put the contractors on their toes. The governor has by his action demonstrated that he is a no-nonsense person, has zero tolerance and a grassroots governor.”
Speaking further, Comrade Ike Abiagom said if successive governments had taken this action of stepping on toes not minding whose ox is gored the state would have developed more than it is today.
The association secretary, Uncle Alaska Ekele urges members to thread the path of the governor by reporting real situations and shoddy jobs executed by contractors in their areas of coverage. By so doing, the governor would be aware of the activities of the makeshift contractors.” ” This is one of the sure ways of demonstrating our resolve to partner with the current state government and promote the MORE Agenda of His Excellency.”
The association also expressed their appreciation to the governor for redirecting Hon Charles Aniagwu to Information ministry which they described as his immediate constituency. They described Hon Charles Aniagwu as ‘Mr Fix it ‘ of information ministry, stressing that bringing him to head the ministry was a step in the right direction.
They said they are looking forward to having a courtesy visit to His Excellency Rt Hon Elder Sheriff Oborevwori to rub minds with him.
