Esievo Inspects Enerhen Junction Project

It was a beautiful sight to behold as the Hon Commissioner for Special Infrastructures Delta State Hon Barrister Mrs Orezi Esievo and Barrister Biodun Otunola of AIL Infrastructures Limited contractors to the Enerhen junction project undertook the inspection of the 'notorious' Enerhen Junction now remodeled to World Class standard with dual lanes, traffic signs as well as Solar powered Street lights.

The Old Enerhen Junction used to be notorious for serious traffic congestion until His Excellency Dr Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan approved the remodeling of the junction to solve the perennial traffic congestion hitherto experienced by road users in the area.

The Enerhen Junction can now be likened to any junction of International standards in any part of the world. Many thanks to the Government of Delta State for this initiative even as we also expect same to be done to other major junctions like the PTI Junction, Effurun roundabout, Jakpa Junction and Airport Junction where road users now experience serious traffic congestion especially in the mornings and evenings.

It was a day to remember as friends, family members and political associates gathered at the Warri home of the first family of Delta State as Her Excellency Mrs Roli Nere Uduaghan clocks 52.

A birthday lecture was organized in her honor and thereafter guests were entertained. We wish Her Excellency a very happy birthday and many more fruitful and gracious years ahead.

By Reuben Izeze

Today,Monday 9th September,2011,I took a trip down memory lane in company of my elder brother from another mother;Mr.Clement Siakpere.
This trip was nostalgic for me because it was a trip back to my BEGINNING as an independent and fully qualified BACHELOR.
Having lived with Siakpere and his family after graduating from school at the P.T.I.,I had eventually saved enough to get a place of my own and that was how I ended up in a one bedroom apartment in the remote end of a then developing NEW LAYOUT/UDOGUN AVENUE,off Jakpa road in EKPAN.
At that time(2001),life in New Layout was hell for inhabitants as there wasn't a single tarred road and the entire layout was powered by just one 33/11KVA Transformer.
Government presence was NON-EXISTENT in terms of infrastructure.When it rained,we swam through the roads and during the dry season,the sand made our "Okada-ride" a hellish experience.
I lived on the end of a street(25 PETER OKEME) that was the end of another street and I know how many people visited once and never repeated(not that I blame them).
Life in New Layout was only "new" in name for everything pointed to the stone age of underdevelopment albeit infra-structurally!!!
You can therefore imagine my consternation and utter shock when Bros told me I needed to see what UDUAGHAN had done in New Layout.
I am sure the pictures attached will
tell the rest of the story,especially to those who know what it used to be to live in New-Layout in the late 90s until as recent as 2008.
I commend the COURAGE of Comrade Engr. Igbini Odafe Emmanuel and his team at the DIRECT LABOUR AGENCY for the actualisation of this uncommon TRANSFORMATION.
Indeed WE WILL FINISH STRONG.
DELTA,THIS OUR DELTA,MUST BETTER!!!

Delta State is Prepared to Conduct Local Government Election- Governor Uduaghan

Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan CON has assured Deltans of his administration’s preparedness to provide the needed logistics for local government elections in the state once the State Electoral Body indicates its readiness for the elections.
Dr. Uduaghan who gave the assurance today (24-07-13) in Warri during the swearing-in ceremony of Dr. Emibra Agbeotu as a member of the recently constituted Delta State Independent Electoral Commission (DSIEC) opined that strategies and logistics were been put in place to ensure that local government elections were conducted as soon as possible.
His words “ My administration is ready and willing to conduct the local government elections in the state, as such logistics needed for the conduct of the election were been provided to ensure that the election is no longer delayed to enable the councils begin work in earnest for the benefit of Deltans and the state.”
While reiterating that his government was committed to conduct a free and fair local government election, he stressed that “since the local government is closer to the people, their confidence and trust should be earned through a transparent and credible election that will stand the test of time”, stating that “strengthening of democracy will occur at the third tier of government if credible and trustworthy people are appointed as umpires”.
Dr. Uduaghan said that strategies for greater synergy with local government councils were being put in place to ensure that socio-economic projects were implemented at the grassroots level on an efficient and effective basis.
Speaking further, he charged the newly sworn in member of Delta State Independent Electoral Commission (DSIEC) to serve the state diligently in this capacity for the benefit of the people.
In a brief response, Dr. Emibra Agbeotu said he was prepared for the task ahead and competent to handle the job explaining that he would do his best to serve the state better in this capacity.
According to him “l wish to thank the governor for this appointment. l promise to do my best in serving the state. I am prepared for the job and by God’s grace I will not disappoint deltans.”
The swearing-in of Dr. Agbeotu brings the number of DSIEC members to seven.

The lack of morals is traceable to the societal decadence in our milieu. Parents must do their best in bringing up their children to become useful to themselves and the society.

Nana Model College, Warri.
Kudos Dr Uduaghan for the vision to transform our schools.

Many thanks to His Excellency the Governor of Delta State for this wonderful show of love to the needy.

These are the schools guys. Evaluate them yourselves.

Very much on point. It will check ticket racketeering when introduced.

Reality of Delta healthcare System
By Ejiro Idama

OVERTIME, a number of opinions and impressions have been formed about Gov. Uduaghan administration’s programmes in particular its efforts to assuage the sufferings of the weak segments of the society.

OVERTIME, a number of opinions and impressions have been formed about Gov. Uduaghan administration’s programmes in particular its efforts to assuage the sufferings of the weak segments of the society.

I have read conflicting comments that the administration is pro-poor, while another holds as being pro-PDP and pro-establishment. Whatever is being said, not being neither a member of PDP nor the administration, I will not join the debate. It is needless.

However, I am impressed by some developments in Delta state under the administration of Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan. I see the focus on mega project and liberal policy of his government of improving the welfare of the citizens through so many subsidized and free social programmes that is helping the poor and weak especially, as commendable.

One such programme is the free healthcare for under-5 children and free maternal health for expectant mothers. Both programmes are a strong response of Uduaghan’s government to the dire data of in the frightening rates of infant and maternal mortality. Since their institution, the mortality rates have whittled.

For instance, many Deltans are aware of this and the growing impact it is making. In penning this article, I was encouraged by comments of the Anglican bishop of Asaba dioceses, Rt. Rev. Justus Mogekwu, the other day in his sermon that Delta state government has done well in improving the health policy with special mention of free health care for under-5 children and free maternal healthcare for expectant mothers.

His words “I am happy to say that since Emmanuel Uduaghan came to office, his policies, projects and programs speak for him. On the health sector, he is determined to leave lasting legacy. The maternal healthcare is one of the legacies.

He said Deltans are relieved and elated that the government has relieved them of the financial burden of such medical care (including caesarean section, laboratory/ diagnosis fees). By some coincidence I was in some discussion with a friend, Mr. John Okiripki who is a usually a critic I guess influence by his background as a statistician, he commented that based on experience of many people, he is tempted to believe statistics from Delta government that a drop in mortality rate of 48.8 percent of 456 deaths per 100,000, to a December 2011 figure of 221 per 100,000 may have been achieved. He told me that if this is true then it is a significant change in statistical terms.

A human interest report in a community newspaper featured a Mrs. Charity Emeka, who was reported to have recently given birth to a male child through a caesarian section at the General Hospital Umunede, Ika North East Local Government, wondering; “who would have given me N 200,000 for the operation” a huge cost lifted off this family and also the survival of mother and child through the ordeal.

The young mother understandably was thus full of praises for the government health policy which she observed has benefited pregnant mothers and the new born in Delta state.

Aside the free healthcare for children under-5 and free ante-natal care for expectant mothers, which many homes are still relishing, the Uduaghan administration has a free rural health care program, which affords Deltans of ages viz: children, adult male and females to access free medical care in, or near their residential places. Under this program, medical experts are assembled by the government to pay itinerant visit to all rural communities were they administer first class medical care to everyone, akin to the second republic era type medical programme of hospitals on wheel program of the late Prof. Ambrose Ali, then governor of Bendel state. But the Delta free rural healthcare is a motorized service module.

Since the programme began, tens of thousands of persons have called, with varieties of ailment covered under its umbrella. For instance, I was informed that in the first round of the 2012/2013 cyclic tour alone, more than 60 surgeries were handled with 38 of them relating to cataract. Testimonies from beneficiaries who appeared on local television showed that treatments covered hernia, appendicitis, hemorrhage (pile) and lymphoma.

For instance, a Mrs. Tina Smart and Angela Chidi, had fibroid removed from them. According to the duo of Tina and Angela without the free surgery the condition would have remained

Another area in the Governor Uduaghan’s health policy development is the completion and provision of medical facilities to Delta state university Teaching Hospital, Oghara, DELSUTH, unarguably the best teaching hospital in the country, with a staff complement in many core areas as cardio-vascular challenges.

I understand that part of the reason the hospital receives so much attention is because, the administration wants to position it to tap into medical tourism, which Nigerians have become noted for. It makes sense. One can imagine how much will be saved if patients visit Oghara than go abroad.

There is no debate on this yet, but it can be said that had Uduaghan not being a medical doctor himself, he might not have been able to give as much attention as he has to healthcare. If you ask the man he may not even agree, well it does not matter.

The most important thing today is that Deltans have a better healthcare system than before.
