Delta state will soon smile again, Buhari promises
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday promised to look into some of the identified issues in Delta State with the view to solving them before the expiration of his administration.
Some of the key issues the president promised to look into were the under-utilisation of the four ports in Warri, Koko, Sapele and Burutu, all in Delta State; reconstitution of the NDDC Board; immortalisation of the first Finance Minister of the country, Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, and resuscitation of the Ogidigben EPZ project.
Buhari who spoke at the State House assured the Itsekiri people of Delta State of a fair deal, just as he extolled the patriotism of the 21st Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III.
The promise is coming as the monarch, after thanking the Nigerian leader, for sending a high-powered delegation to his coronation, raised a number of issues affecting the state.
