As Deltans bask in the euphoria of the New Year, Delta State governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has assured of enhanced service delivery by the state government in the New Year.
Okowa, in his goodwill message on Saturday in Asaba, signed by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Charles Aniagwu, reiterated his administration’s determination to increase the tempo of service delivery and infrastructural development in the New Year.
The statement read: “With a deep sense of profound gratitude to God, I welcome you all to a New Year, 2017. I join you all in giving thanks to God for His guidance and protection all through 2016.
“I appreciate immensely the support and cooperation that our administration has enjoyed from the people, which has been our source of strength and courage. I salute our collective resolve to continue to live together in peace despite the economic challenges that the nation is presently faced with.
“Our administration has in the past redoubled our efforts in keeping faith with our electoral promises despite the continued shortfall in the revenue projections. We have been doing our best to ensure that the developmental needs of the state are attended to by applying the level of prudence and ingenuity that the present challenges demand,” he said.
