He urged the people of the state to remain prayerful and trusting that God would do new things for them and the state in the new year.
The governor added that his administration had in the last five years kept faith in his promises to the people in spite of the continued shortfall in revenue projections.
He added:
“We have been doing our best to ensure that the developmental needs of the state are attended to by applying the level of prudence and ingenuity that the present challenges demand.”
He urged Deltans to remain peaceful and live in peace with their neighbours which, according to him, is the core element of the stronger Delta agenda.
Recall that Governor Okowa recently said his administration took the empowerment of youths seriously because engagement of young people would engender peace in the state.
He stated that his administration was doing a lot in skill acquisition because he believes that no amount of projects will bring peace to the communities if the youths and women were not gainfully engaged.
Similarly, Governor Okowa recently stated that women empowerment needs to be tackled with concerted action to bridge the widening inequality gap in Nigeria and Africa.
According to him, both experts and policymakers agree that empowering women, especially the poor rural women, is fundamental to economic development in Nigeria.
