While praying for unity, peace and development in the state, he urged the people to remain supportive of government, saying that peace remained the bedrock of meaningful development in any society.
The governor also expressed hope that 2020 would be a year of fulfilment, adding that the state remained on the right trajectory to sustainable development.
“I am optimistic of a stronger Delta in 2020, because of the support I enjoy from the legislature, the judiciary, the civil service, traditional and religious leaders and my team of political appointees.
“Other sources of strength to us are agencies of government, both at the federal and the state levels, multilateral donor agencies and most importantly, our trust and belief in God.
“In the last five years, we have seen the hand of God in our dear state; all that we did were made possible by God, and as a people, we have every reason to thank God and I can confidently say that we have seen the hand of God at work in our state.
“So, let us look up to the new year with the same zeal of a people with a capacity to excel even in difficult situations,” Governor Okowa said.
