Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, is set to depart for Germany on Tuesday in a move aimed at strengthening the state’s partnership with construction giant, Julius Berger.
Speaking through the Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Charles Aniagwu, in Asaba on Monday, Oborevwori made it clear that the trip was purely official and focused on boosting infrastructure delivery, not leisure.
He said, “Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, I and the Technical Assistant to the Governor will on Tuesday depart for Germany for a working mission.
“The purpose of this visit is to strengthen our ongoing partnership with Julius Berger. His Excellency is known for his negotiation skills, and this trip will help us secure better deals and concessions that will benefit the state.
“The visit is not for leisure but part of the administration’s continuous efforts to enhance project delivery and cost efficiency.”
The governor recalled that similar international engagements had yielded tangible results for Delta, including the award of key infrastructure contracts — the N59 billion Agbor Flyover and the N39 billion Otovwodo Junction, Ughelli Flyover on the Warri–Patani Expressway.
He further revealed that the administration’s upcoming empowerment programmes, set to commence next month, would be transparent, inclusive, and spread across all 25 local government areas.
According to him, the initiative would be jointly coordinated by key ministries and agencies to ensure it promotes sustainable livelihoods and improves productivity across the state.
