The Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, says he is leaving Asaba as the capital territory much better than when he met it in 2015.
“I believe that the park is obviously bringing a lot of attraction to the city. The Film Village will soon take off as they are twin projects. We have also given Dennis Osadebay University a new look.
“We thank His Royal Majesty, the Asagba of Asaba, Prof. Chike Edozien, and all the chiefs in Asaba for the cooperation that they have given to us so far. This has helped in the growth rate of Asaba.” Okowa, who pointed out that Asaba as a capital territory was becoming the fastest growing in terms of developments across the nation, said, “Our efforts at peacebuilding have helped in the development of Asaba, and our brothers from the South-East are finding a lot of comforts here.”
Earlier, the Chairman of Ezenyili said none of the councillors had an office to perform their legislative assignments as they used to sit under the tree whenever they were around. He said, “The legislative chamber was conceived and built by the council to provide a conducive working environment for councillors in the local government.”All rights reserved.
