Director General of Delta State Orientation and Communications Bureau, Dr Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe has said that the state of the state address presented to the State House of Assembly on Wednesday by governor Sheriff Oborevwori, underscores the importance of openness, transparency and accountability in governance under constitutional democracy.

He called on politicians and people in positions of authority to emulate the leadership style of governor Oborevwori by being transparent and accountable to the people at all times, pointing out that for democracy to thrive, all elected representatives from top to bottom must of a necessity be accountable to those who gave them the mandate to lead or to govern.

The Bureau Chief commended governor Oborevwori over his good governance strides which earned him numerous Awards including; Best Governor of the Year, Best Governor in Infrastructure Development, and Best Governor in Good Governance, bestowed on him by ThisDay Arise Media Group, Telegraph Newspapers Editorial Board and Vanguard Newspapers Management and Editorial Board, respectively.

Dr Oghenesivbe told newsmen on Wednesday in Asaba that governor Oborevwori's scorecard within two years as unveiled during his official report to the State House of Assembly captured all sectors of the state economy, adding that the catalogue of mega projects to be commissioned in commemoration of his second year anniversary in office has been applauded by all well.meaning Deltans, home and in Diaspora. 

He commended the Speaker of Delta State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Emomotimi Guwor and honourable members of the hallowed chambers for their flawless overnight functions, and for the several Bills signed into law by the governor, especially the State State Electricity Power Sector Law which laid a solid legal foundation for investments in that critical sector.

He noted that though the three arms of government are separated in watertight compartments, not any one of them can function effectively without the cooperation of the other two, and that in Delta State, the executive , legislature and the judiciary arms of government have  been working and would continue to work harmoniously together for the attainment of good governance, law and order, describing Speaker Guwor as a team player and a pragmatic leader who is committed to the development of Delta State.

Dr Oghenesivbe said Delta State has become a major destination for local and international investors because of the numerous business opportunities created by governor Oborevwori through major economic reforms and socioeconomic remodelling which has tremendously enhanced the ease of doing business in the state.

The Bureau Chief disclosed that the state government offers special fiscal incentives to investors, such as tax holidays, tax reduction, and business ecosystem that guarantees returns on investment.

He assured that the next two years of the governor's first tenure would open more doors of unlimited investment opportunities for public-private partnership, inflow of Direct Foreign investments, which would automatically upscale infrastructural development, economic growth and more prosperity for all Deltans, under the Renewed Hope for More Agenda of President Bola Tinubu and governor Sheriff Oborevwori.

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.”
