Delta State Chapter of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) Commends Governor Sheriff Oborevwori on His Two Years in Office
The Delta State Chapter of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) heartily commends the Governor of Delta State, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, on the occasion of his two years in office.
In a statement issued by the State Chapter Chairman, Mr. Godfrey Osakwe, fnipr, the Institute lauded the Governor for his dynamic, people-oriented, and development focused leadership.
According to Mr. Osakwe, Governor Oborevwori has consistently demonstrated that good governance is achievable, not through magic, but through passion, commitment, sincerity of purpose, and genuine love for the people.
“Truly, it is both reassuring and inspiring to witness the massive infrastructural development currently unfolding across Delta State under the dynamic leadership of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.
The administration’s commitment to physical development has no doubt set a commendable pace. However, this progress must be matched with an equally robust approach to security, which is a fundamental pillar of sustainable development,” Mr. Osakwe stated.
He further expressed deep concern over the rising trend of insecurity in some parts of the state, particularly in Asaba, where reports have emerged of criminals allegedly hypnotizing keke (tricycle) passengers using white handkerchiefs, leading to kidnapping and theft.
“This ugly development is deeply saddening and poses a serious threat to the brand image of Delta State. It is unacceptable that residents and visitors should live in fear of such calculated criminality,” he said.
The NIPR Chairman stressed that tackling insecurity must be a holistic and collective responsibility. “Security is not the sole responsibility of government or law enforcement agencies; it is a shared duty.
Every component of society must be actively involved,” he emphasized.
Mr. Osakwe recommended the institutionalization of regular consultative security forums involving community leaders, security operatives, transport operators, youth groups, and other critical stakeholders.
Such platforms, he said, would foster community vigilance, proactive strategies, and inclusive action plans.”By encouraging a culture of everyone monitoring everyone, we can reclaim our public spaces and restore public confidence.
“Now is the time to act decisively and collaboratively. Delta State must not only grow in infrastructure but must also stand firm as a beacon of safety, peace, and prosperity,” he concluded.
