Governor Okowa who inaugurated the committee

The Committee has three advisers, -Prof. Saliba
Mukoro, Isaac Onyeson and Barr Arthur
Akpowowo, and 66 other members with Mr. Boro
Opoudo as Chairman.
‘’The Delta Waterways and Land Security’s brief
is to identify and discourage the criminal
elements perpetuating illegalities in the waterways
and across the state, give such intelligence
information to security agencies and generally
maintain the peace on the waterways and in every
nook and cranny of the state. You are expected
to be totally loyal to both the state and the heads
of security agencies, you should have a close
relationship with them as your loyalty to them is
loyalty to government”, Governor Okowa said.
‘’ The place and importance of peace and security
is dear to this administration, this is particularly
so, as there can be no sustainable socio-
economic development in the absence of peace
and security’’, he added.
While urging Deltans to take advantage of his
administration’s empowerment programmes,

administration to enthrone a legacy of wealth and
prosperity for all Deltans stating ‘’ We are

flourishing agriculture and agribusiness sector,
effective health and educational system, renewed
urban infrastructure and enhanced security and
peace to boost economic growth and
development.’’
He charged the members to see their appointment
as a call to duty and be committed to providing a
safer, peaceful enabling environment where
Deltans can achieve prosperity.
Responding, Barrister Arthur Akpowowo, one of
the advisers of the committee thanked the
governor for finding them worthy to serve the
