Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State has been commended for his developmental efforts in the state in the last few years, especially in the areas of infrastructure and human capital development.
In a statement in Lagos, the Association of Delta State Journalists (Lagos), noted that the state, since the inception of the Uduaghan administration, has seen massive investment in infrastructure  initiatives that would put the state on a sound economic footing in the future.
The statement singled out the ‘Delta Beyond Oil’ initiative of the administration, which it stated, was “a future forward” initiative that will help wean the state of over dependence on oil. “This is a commendable policy that should be emulated by not just the Federal Government but other states of the federation as it is the only way to re-position and re-strategise the nation’s economy for a future without an exhaustible resource such as oil,” the statement read in part.
The group called on the state government to do more in the area of youth employment by improving on the industrial base of the state. “The state government should create an enabling environment for investors to site industries in the state in order to create more jobs for the teeming population of unemployed youths and generate more revenue for the state through taxes,” it stated.
