COUNTDOWN TO 2 YEARS IN OFFICE.

Senator Dr Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa Uncommon Transformation Through Olorogun Williams Makinde led DESOPADEC Board

Sunday, May 29th 2017 , marks 2 years of Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa in office as the Executive Governor of Delta State. Okowa hit the ground running. And this is hardly surprising. Okowa came into office with a clear vision and an action plan encapsulated in his well thought-out S.M.A.R.T agenda that is designed to usher in “Prosperity for all Deltans”.
From day one, he left nobody in doubt about his preparedness and determination to walk his talk. Standing on the podium on his inauguration day, Okowa, trusting that God will enable him, solemnly re-assured Deltans of his determination to tackle the glaringly daunting challenges facing the state. He challenged them to be ready for tough decisions and hard choices.

In his words: “The challenges are not only real, they are diverse and complex. And there are no quick or easy solutions. But they can be tackled. What we will not do is to succumb to despair or allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by the current difficulties. Indeed, times like these are often a good test of character and determination to succeed, for in the words of the Scriptures, if you faint in the day of adversity then your strength is small.

For all diligent and discerning observers, Governor Okowa in his first 100 days has demonstrated quality leadership that is defined by vision, focus, determination and political will to take big, tough, decisions. He has served notice to all that his S.M.A.R.T agenda is not just a political catch-phrase or mere campaign rhetoric.

S.M.A.R.T, for the benefit of those not yet familiar with the acronym, stands for:

* Strategic Wealth Creation Initiatives and Provision of Jobs for all Deltans.

* Meaningful Peace Building Platforms aimed at Political/Social Stability.

* Agricultural Reforms and Industrialisation.

* Relevant Health and Education Policies.

* Transformed Environment through Massive Urban Renewal .

under review,The Olorogun Williams Makinde led Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC) has been reinvented, restructured and repositioned to be able to deliver on its statutory roles and functions. Governor Okowa deserves a truck load of commendations for his insight and determination to effect changes to the deficiencies inherent in the previous enabling Law of DESOPADEC. Albert Einstein it was who counseled that, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. Today, DESOPADEC has positively impact on the lives of the people of the oil bearing communities and raise the bar of development in the state.

August 28, 2015 While inaugurating the new 14 man Governing Board, Governor Okowa said : “The new DESOPADEC structure provides for sound corporate governance in line with international best practices which is expected to put the Commission on a stronger footing to better meet the developmental needs of ethnic nationalities in the oil producing areas.

“I encourage you to use the bottom-up approach; the communities should determine the projects they want in their areas so that peace will reign and development will be enhanced.”

The Governor has Transformed the landscape of the oil producing areas of the State through the Olorogun Williams Makinde led Board of Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC). The board made up of Technocrats has done well to Better the lots of the peoples and communities of the oil producing areas of Delta State.

Today, it is evident that the present board of DESOPADEC led by the Managing Director/CEO Olorogun Williams Makinde , had something to tell Deltans, specifically the oil bearing communities on their stewardships on assumption of office. These achievements which spanned from completed and ongoing projects execution of the commission once associated with chequered history could be attributed to the visionary administration of Senator Dr. Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa and the leadership of Delta State House of Assembly led by Rt. Hon. Chief Monday Ovwigho Igbuya ,in ensuring that the board of the commission works according to the vision and mission of its establishment.
