Security is the Epicenter of Governor Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda, Says General Oloye


By Wilson Macaulay 

Clement Ofovwi, popularly known as General Oloye, the Special Assistant to the Delta State Governor on Security, has reaffirmed that security is a top priority in Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda—a strategic policy framework focused on Meaningful Development, Opportunities, Realistic Reforms, and Enhanced Security across the state.

Speaking to journalists in Asaba, the  Delta State Capital,General Oloye emphasized that security is the foundation for sustainable development, economic growth, and social stability in Delta State. He highlighted Governor Oborevwori’s proactive approach to crime prevention, law enforcement support, and the creation of a peaceful environment conducive for investments and economic  progress.


General Oloye commended the Governor’s deep understanding of the critical role security plays in governance, noting that the administration of Governor Sheriff OBOREVWORI has intensified efforts to eliminate criminal elements and fortify the state's security architecture.

"Governor Sheriff Oborevwori is not only focused on development but also on ensuring that Deltans can go about their daily activities without fear. Under his leadership,  decisive steps has been taken to rid the state of criminal elements and strengthen our security network," he stated.

Since assuming office as the Chief Security Officer of Delta State, Governor Oborevwori has collaborated closely with security agencies, providing:

Operational vehicles to enhance mobility and rapid response.

Modern surveillance equipment to improve intelligence gathering.

Financial incentives to boost the morale and effectiveness of security personnel.

"One of the Governor’s first actions was to ensure that security agencies were adequately equipped. He dutifully deployed patrol vans, communication gadgets, and intelligence-gathering tools to enable security operatives to respond swiftly to threats. Additionally, the state has fostered synergy between conventional security forces and local vigilante groups to enhance grassroots security management," General Oloye added.

Zero Tolerance for Crime Under the MORE Agenda

General Oloye further revealed that Governor Oborevwori's administration has taken significant steps to combat crime, including the deployment of special task forces to identified hotspots. These efforts have resulted in:

The arrest of several kidnappers.

The dismantling of criminal syndicates.

The destruction of illegal oil bunkering sites.

The elimination of cultist activities in various communities.

"The MORE Agenda has zero tolerance for crime. The government will not relent in its efforts to maintain law and order across the state," he asserted.

Recognizing the importance of intelligence-driven security operations, the state government has strengthened community policing by engaging traditional rulers, youth leaders, and local stakeholders. General Oloye highlighted that the administration has established a robust feedback mechanism that allows residents to report suspicious activities without fear of victimization or betrayal.

"Governor Oborevwori has intensified community engagement, working strategically with local leaders to create a network that will help to track criminal activities before they escalate. This administration encourages residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious movement," he remarked.

Enhancing Security Through Technology

As part of the MORE Agenda, General Oloye disclosed that Governor Oborevwori is initiating plans for a comprehensive security surveillance system that will:

Provide real-time monitoring of activities.

Enhance rapid response to security threats.

Improve coordination among security agencies.

"We are set to introduce a robust security surveillance system that will enable us to monitor activities in real-time and respond swiftly to emergencies," he revealed.

Security as a Catalyst for Economic Growth

The Special Assistant on Security emphasized that a peaceful Delta State is key to attracting investors, boosting commerce, and creating employment opportunities for the youth. He credited the stability and economic growth that is happening in Delta State now to Governor Oborevwori’s peace initiatives.

"No investor will commit resources to an unstable environment. Governor Oborevwori understands this very well, which is why security remains a top priority in his development agenda. A secure Delta means more jobs, better infrastructure, and a thriving economy," he stated.

A Call for Collective Action

General Oloye urged all residents to support the government’s security initiatives by remaining law-abiding and cooperating with security agencies. He assured Deltans that the state government is fully committed to making Delta one of the safest states in Nigeria.


"Security is not just the responsibility of the government or law enforcement agencies—it is a collective duty. If we all play our part, Delta State will continue to enjoy peace and stability," he concluded.

PTI Defends Its Reputation Against Misleading Sahara Media Report By Wilson Macaulay Effurun, Delta State July 12 2025 The Management of the prestigious Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, has vehemently refuted a sensational and malicious report published by Sahara Reporters on July 10, 2025, which alleged that students of the foremost oil and gas institution study in “flooded classrooms and snake-infested hostels” despite a ₦39 billion budget. Describing the publication as “baseless, mischievous, and an orchestrated attempt to malign the integrity of the institution,” PTI Management said the report is not only factually inaccurate but also a deliberate attack on the hard-earned reputation and progress of the institution under its current leadership. In a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, the management declared: > “There are absolutely no flooded classrooms or snake-infested hostels within the Institute. These claims are complete fabrications devoid of any evidence or truth.” Management further challenged Sahara Reporters to produce any verifiable photographic or video proof to substantiate its claims. > “If such conditions exist as alleged, Sahara Reporters should have no difficulty presenting concrete evidence. Until then, their report remains a reckless misrepresentation aimed at misleading the public.” PTI clarified that all its lecture halls, laboratories, workshops, and hostels are structurally sound, properly ventilated, electrically powered, and routinely maintained. The Institute prides itself on maintaining a safe and conducive academic environment for learning, innovation, and professional development in the oil and gas sector. The management in clear terms described the publication as the work of “unscrupulous elements seeking to sow discord and cast aspersions on the steady infrastructural development PTI has recorded in recent years.” As a center of excellence in petroleum training and manpower development, PTI has, under its current administration, seen remarkable transformation in terms of physical infrastructure, digital modernization, and student welfare programs. The Institute continues to attract local and international recognition for its cutting-edge research and high-impact training curriculum. While assuring stakeholders, parents, and the general public of its unwavering commitment to the safety and welfare of its students, the management reiterated its call for responsible journalism and urged media practitioners to verify facts before rushing to publication. “We remain focused on our mandate and will not be distracted by smear campaigns designed to derail our progress.”
