Delta State Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Charles Aniagwu, has declared that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori will anchor his 2027 re-election campaign on tangible projects and visible development across the state.
Aniagwu asserted on Tuesday during an inspection of the Delta State College of Health Technology, Ovrode, in Isoko North Local Government Area, where he expressed satisfaction with the pace of work and readiness of the facility for commissioning.
He noted that the inspection followed the governor’s directive to assess progress and address outstanding issues, adding that most concerns previously raised had been resolved, with only minor finishing touches remaining.
“What this shows is that the governor is indeed working. The progress here reflects his commitment to delivering projects that directly impact the lives of the people,” Aniagwu said.
The commissioner emphasised that the administration’s strategy is rooted in performance rather than political rhetoric, stressing that project execution, commissioning, and human capital development will form the core of the governor’s campaign message.
According to him, the Ovrode health technology college, once completed, will boost healthcare delivery by training professionals and creating employment opportunities, especially in light of the state government’s recent approval of 700 health sector jobs.
He added that strengthening local training capacity would also help address the growing challenge of brain drain, commonly referred to as the “Japa syndrome,” by equipping residents to fill critical roles in the state’s expanding health sector.
On broader development efforts, Aniagwu disclosed that the Oborevwori administration has approved over ₦400 billion worth of capital projects across Delta State, with many already at various stages of execution.
He further highlighted the governor’s consistent engagement with communities across all 25 local government areas through project inspections, flag-offs, and commissioning exercises, describing it as a hands-on approach to governance.
“Commissioning of projects is not just ceremonial; it provides an opportunity for the governor to interact with the people. He does not believe in appearing only during election periods. He has continued to crisscross the state, delivering and unveiling projects that improve lives,” he stated.
Aniagwu added that due to the volume of completed and ongoing projects, some inaugurations may be delegated to the Deputy Governor or the Secretary to the State Government.
He assured that the administration would sustain its focus on people-oriented development, insisting that its achievements would ultimately speak for the governor as the 2027 general elections draw closer.
