Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North in the National Assembly, on Wednesday celebrated the 34th anniversary of the creation of Delta State.
In a statement, the Senator commended the resilience and progress of the state while applauding Governor Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori’s transformative M.O.R.E Agenda.
In the statement, Senator Nwoko joined millions of Deltans in reflecting on the state’s remarkable journey over the past 34 years.
“Delta State is a beacon of resilience, diversity, and progress in Nigeria’s federation,” he said.
“Thirty-four years of Delta is thirty-four years of collective struggles, triumphs, and aspirations.”
He highlighted the state’s evolution from significant infrastructural challenges to notable advancements in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and human capital development.
Senator Nwoko reserved special praise for Governor Oborevwori’s M.O.R.E Agenda, describing it as a promising framework for inclusive growth.
“If equitably executed across the three senatorial districts, this agenda will deliver people-centred development to every corner of Delta,” he noted, emphasising its potential to uplift both urban centres like Asaba and Warri and underserved rural, riverine, and agrarian communities.
“The soul of our state lies not only in our cities but in our villages and riverine settlements, where our people most eagerly await the dividends of democracy,” he added.
The senator also called for greater empowerment of Delta’s youths and women, whom he described as the backbone of the state’s future.
“The future belongs to our youths and women. They should be empowered with opportunities to thrive and sustain Delta’s legacy,” Nwoko urged.
In a rallying call, Senator Nwoko encouraged leaders, citizens, and stakeholders to support Governor Oborevwori’s administration, stressing that “governance is a collective responsibility.”
He expressed optimism that unified efforts could realize the vision of a stronger, more inclusive Delta.
As Delta State celebrates its 34th anniversary, Senator Ned Nwoko’s message has resonated widely, inspiring renewed commitment to building “the Delta of our dreams.”
Happy 34th Anniversary, Delta State!
