By Divine Perezide
In an open letter published on December 24, 2024, in Vanguard newspaper, Prince Presley Iyalagha, Managing Director of Preslyn Resources Limited and Senior Special Assistant on Political Matters to Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, commended the Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, for his remarkable strides in infrastructural development.
Prince Iyalagha highlighted the “transformative vision” of Governor Oborevwori’s administration, emphasizing its impact on fostering sustainable growth and improving the quality of life in Delta State, particularly in Warri City and its environs.
“The progress we have observed is not merely a series of construction projects; it represents a transformative vision aimed at fostering sustainable growth and enhancing the quality of life for all Deltans,” Iyalagha wrote.
See details of the attached letter:
He lauded the administration’s commitment to infrastructure, noting that projects such as roads, bridges, and recreational spaces “lay the foundation for economic development and social interaction.”
The Prince of Iduwini Kingdom, Delta State specifically commended the state’s partnership with reputable construction firms, including Julius Berger PLC, in executing major infrastructure projects, citing the ongoing work on bridges and roads in Warri, particularly at Enerhen Junction and PTI Junction, as evidence of the administration’s resolve to improve connectivity and transportation.
“During my visit to Warri in July, I was pleasantly surprised by the pace of work at Enerhen Junction and PTI Junction, with many internal roads in Warri nearing completion,” he stated. “These bridges and roads, once finalized, will undoubtedly restore Warri’s status as the Oil City of Nigeria, where nightlife and business thrive.”
The letter also underscored plans to renovate the Warri Township Stadium, describing it as a “noteworthy endeavor” that would enhance local sports culture, stimulate social interactions, and provide economic opportunities.
“This venue holds great significance within the Oil City, and revitalizing it will not only enhance our local sports culture but also stimulate social interactions and celebrations,” Iyalagha noted.
Calling for unity and collective support among Deltans, Prince Iyalagha urged residents to rally behind Governor Oborevwori’s initiatives and collaborate with the federal government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to attract further resources and investment.
“I encourage all Deltans, particularly those in the political sphere, to support you, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, in collaborating with the federal government to strive for a better Delta State,” he wrote.
However, with warm wishes, Prince Iyalagha extended his gratitude for what he termed “the Governor’s dedication and commitment to enhancing our beloved state” while wished all Deltans a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
It is noteworthy that, while this letter reflects the growing appreciation of Deltans for Governor Oborevwori’s leadership and the transformative projects shaping Delta State’s future, concerned voices especially from the riverine parts of the state have intensified calls for His Excellency to complete Ayakoromor bridge and other critical infrastructural projects in the Riverine Areas of the state.
