“Today, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori led us to make history since the 34 years existence of Delta State where, in one Executive meetings over N275 billion worth of projects were approved for the good people of Delta cutting across the three senatorial districts.
“These projects span different sectors targeted at giving value to our people; improving connectivity by way of roads, advancing their health by way of efforts in the health sector and, of course, urban renewal by making our cities much more liveable.
“Virtually all the projects we approved today are coming with 40 percent mobilisation without our government having to go and borrow, and that tells you how solvent we are as a state, thanks to the accountable and transparent governance philosophy of Governor Oborevwori,” Aniagwu told newsmen in Asaba.
