The Special Assistant to the Delta State Governor on Security Matters, Hon. Clement Ofovwi, popularly known as General Oloye, has commended Governor Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori for what he described as bold, visionary and people-centered leadership demonstrated through the execution of the Otovwodo Flyover, the Udu Harbour Market, and the ongoing reconstruction of the Udu ECN Road.

General Oloye, while addressing journalists in Asaba on Tuesday, said the projects represent a defining chapter in Delta State’s infrastructure renaissance and a clear reflection of Governor Oborevwori’s commitment to the MORE Agenda of Meaningful Development, Opportunities for all, Realistic Reforms and Enhanced Peace and Security.

According to him, the three projects, strategically located within Delta Central and its commercial corridor, will  not only reshape the physical landscape of the state but also strengthen security, economic stability and social cohesion.

“Governor Oborevwori has once again proven that leadership is about impact. These projects will remain permanent testimonies of his administration’s resolve to uplift our people and reposition Delta State for sustainable growth,” General Oloye declared.

Otovwodo Flyover: Unlocking Economic Mobility

General Oloye described the Otovwodo Flyover as one of the most consequential transport interventions in Delta State in recent decades. He noted that the flyover, located along the heavily congested Warri–Ughelli axis, is already transforming vehicular movement, eliminating persistent traffic gridlock and drastically reducing travel time for commuters, traders and investors.

He stressed that improved traffic flow enhances security surveillance, emergency response time and commercial productivity across Warri, Udu, Ughelli and adjoining communities.

“When roads work, security improves. The Otovwodo Flyover is not just concrete and steel; it is economic liberation for thousands of Deltans,” he said.

Udu Harbour Market: A New Commercial Powerhouse

The security adviser further applauded the Governor for the development of the Udu Harbour Market, describing it as a major catalyst for employment generation, trade expansion and grassroots wealth creation.

He noted that the modern market complex will provide organized trading spaces, attract regional commerce and significantly boost internally generated revenue for Delta State while empowering women, youths and small-scale entrepreneurs.

“Udu Harbour Market is a clear demonstration of the Governor’s inclusive economic vision. It gives dignity to traders and transforms Udu into a commercial destination of choice,” General Oloye stated.

Udu ECN Road: Restoring Urban Life

On the Udu ECN Road reconstruction, General Oloye said the project is restoring long-lost connectivity and opening up residential and commercial neighborhoods that were previously cut off by years of infrastructural decay.

He explained that improved road networks directly enhance crime prevention, access to security patrols and emergency services, while boosting property values and business confidence.

“This road project will change  the story of Udu. People can now move freely, businesses are returning and community life will be  revived when completed ,” he added.


Infrastructure as a Pillar of Security and Stability


General Oloye emphasized that Governor Oborevwori’s infrastructure drive has become one of the strongest tools for strengthening peace and security across Delta State.

According to him, improved infrastructure reduces social tension, creates jobs for youths, discourages crime and reinforces public trust in governance.

“Security is not only about enforcement; it is about opportunity, access and hope. Governor Oborevwori understands this deeply,” he said.

A Call for Continued Public Support

The Special Assistant urged Deltans to continue supporting the Governor’s development initiatives, noting that the current administration has laid a strong foundation for long-term prosperity and stability.

“This is a Governor who listens, acts and delivers. The future of Delta State is being built today,” General Oloye 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.”
