DELTA State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has urged communities in the state to engage in self-help projects that will benefit them.
He gave the advice while inaugurating a two-kilometre road constructed by Rainoil Ltd at Idumuje-Ugboko, Aniocha North local Government Area of the state.
According to Governor Okowa, while government would not shy away from its responsibilities, communities should also be involved in self-help projects.
He stated that well-to-do individuals in the communities could and should assist the government in the provision of social amenities.
“I believe that self-help project is very important and I also, strongly believe that government should support the communities that engage in self-help projects.
We will talk to more Deltans that it is the best to share with your community rather than restricting your wealth to your family alone,” he averred.
The governor disclosed that his administration was engaged in massive construction of roads across the state, stating that the Idumuje-Ugboko/Idumuje-Unor road has been approved for construction.
He commended the Chairman, Rainoil Limited, Mr Gabriel Ugbechie, for his numerous contributions to the growth of his community, noting that his administration was not discriminating in the spread of amenities in the state.
Mr Ugbechie, in a welcome address, disclosed that the road was constructed as part of activities lined up to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Rainoil Ltd, assuring that the company was committed to doing more in the discharge of its social responsibilities.
