Mulade Hails Gov. Oborevwori for Teachers Recruitment Order

........ Calls for special attention to rural/riverine areas

Warri______ Following the recent approval given by the Delta State Governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori for recruitment of teachers, health workers and others into the state’s civil service, a foremost Delta state born human and development advocate, Comrade Sheriff Mulade, has commended the decision of the governor as “a right step in the right direction” while also appealing for special attention to rural areas, especially the riverine communities of the state.

Chief Mulade, who is the Ibe Sorimowei of Gbaramatu Kingdom in the Warri South-West Local Government Area of the state, made this known on Friday, July 29, 2023, to news men during a chat over the development.

In his words, he said “I want to sincerely commend the executive governor of Delta State, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, for creating the avenue for employment, which is one of the right steps in the right direction. Asides creating jobs, investing in education is key and one of the best ways to bring development to any society and the governor has shown his commitment to the educational sector through this action, which is very commendable.”

However, the renowned peace ambassador, strongly appeal to those in authorities, "especially the ministry of education and the committees that will be saddled with the responsibilities of executing the decision of the governor to be fair to all qualified Deltans."

He added further that, "The order given by the governor for employment should not be used as a political compensation, neither should it be on ethnic basis, nor constituency project. Rather, it should be done transparently, openly and fairly to all interested Deltans as it dwells on the local government areas according to their needs."

On the area of employment to be based on the needs of local government, Chief Mulade, who is also the National Coordinator of the Center for Peace and Environmental Justice, CEPEJ, noted that the rural and riverine areas of the state are really lacking teachers because of the nature of the terrain, and so special attention should be paid to the affected areas, not only in recruiting more teachers there but modalities should be worked out for additional incentive to encourage them for the huge cost of living and transportation in the riverine areas.

“A special attention should be paid to rural areas of the state, especially riverine communities that have been shortchanged from this engagement process. Now that this opportunity has come, we want to strongly appeal that a special attention should be given, particularly to the riverine area that have been starved of teachers," Chief Mulade counseled.

Speaking further he said, “I also urge the people in the rural and riverine areas to apply for this employment opportunity given by our amiable Governor as they are more conversant with the nature of the riverine environment."

Furthermore, the  Environmentalist appeal "to the state government because of the terrain in the rural and riverine areas, that a special incentive should be earmarked to encourage the people in those areas in order to cushion the high level of cost, because that is the only thing that will help and encourage people to take up such engagement."

Warri _____ The Senior Political Adviser (SPA) Delta State, distinguished Senator Sir. Emmanuel Edesiri Aguariavwodo, has extended his heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to the Delta State Government, especially His Excellency, Rt Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, the Executive Governor of the State, the immediate past Deputy Governor of the State, His Excellency, Barr. Dcn. Kingsley Burutu Otuaro, the speaker Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Dennis Emomotimi Guwor, his Deputy, Rt. Hon. Arthur Akpowowo, State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief. Kingsley Esiso, Majority Leader of the State House of Assembly, Hon. Emeka Nwaobi and former Minister of lnformation, Prof. Sam Oyovbaire for the honour and joining him to thank God for his recent appointment.

He made the appreciation on Sunday 30th July, 2023 at Okpare-Olomu in Ughelli South LGA, during the reception party immediately after the Thanksgiving Church Service held at the All Saints Cathedral, Ughelli.

Senator Aguariavwodo further appreciated the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Kingsley Emu; Chief of Staff to the Governor, Hon Johnson Erijo; Senior Political Adviser to the Governor, Hon. Funkekeme Solomon; Special Adviser on Transportation, Olorogun Jaro Egbo; Chairman Delta State Board of Internal Revenue, Hon. Solomon Ighrakpata; Managing Director DESOPADEC, Chief Festus Ochonogor; members of the State House of Assembly, Commissioner designates, Local Government Council Chairmen, traditional rulers and other  dignitaries too numerous to mention, praying God to cause people to honour and celebrate with them when the need arises, the statement added.

While eulogizing the personality of senator Aguariavwodo, the Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has described Senator Emmanuel Aguariavwodo as a rare gem and a prophet who prophesied his governorship dream in one decade ago.

Oborevwori noted that the celebrant, Aguariavwodo prophesied to him he could run for Governor when he buried his mother in Osubi.

“Senator Aguariavwodo is someone I knew many years ago, and sometimes there are things you say and it will come to pass.

“When I was burying my mother at Osubi Trade Fair complex some years ago, he came and saw the crowd and he said with this crowd you are qualified to contest for Governor.

“He said it over ten years ago in 2013 and that prophesy has come to pass. So when he decided to support me, it is because God wants to fulfil what he has said.”

Oborevwori described Senator Aguariavwodo as a rare gem, who had the opportunity of serving both in the Green and Red Chambers of the National Assembly.

“Not many politicians have the privilege of serving in the Red Chamber and also in the Green Chamber and decided to come down to his State to serve.

“Senator Aguariavwodo belongs to that rare elite group. I congratulate you on this appointment because you are a very humble and respected man and it is my prayer that God will grant you the wisdom to succeed in your new role.”

,

The Governor frowned at the protest by Ewu Community over appointments to the kingdom, noting that appointments were at the discretion of the Governor.

He urged Deltans to join hands with his administration to consolidate the tempo of sustainable development in the State.

He emphasises that some people who are desirous of securing political appointments in his administration may have taken his name to many altars for prayers, adding however, that he was also praying to God for divine direction in giving appointments to people.

“Ughelli South has gotten a Senior Political Adviser, Executive Director DESOPADEC and Commissioner. After giving you a project of over N20bn, you are still coming to protest?

“As Governor, my local government has gotten just one appointment which is the Commissioner-designate because I have promised Deltans I want to be Governor for all,” he stated.

He appreciated Archbishop Cyril Odutemu and the church for their support during the elections and called for continuous prayers for his administration to succeed.

Earlier in his sermon, Archbishop of the Ecclesiastical Province of Bendel and Bishop of Ughelli Diocese (Anglican Communion), The Most Rev’d Cyril Odutemu in his sermon titled “Be strong in the Lord,” said Christians were confronted with several spiritual warfares and charged leaders to be strong “as leadership is a constant struggle to get things right in the interest of the people.”

The Cleric said leaders must demonstrate strength and uncommon courage in the face of daunting challenges.

“Whatever you do in offering advice to the Governor, you should be adequately guided by the truth; don’t allow your garment of righteousness to be stained,” the highly celebrated Anglican cleric said, even as he urged the Governor to keep to his promises and to always stick to the truth.

The thanksgiving service was attended by the immediate past Deputy Governor, Deacon Kingsley Otuaro; Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor; his Deputy, Rt Hon. Arthur Akpowowo; State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Kingsley Esiso; Majority Leader of the State House of Assembly, Hon. Emeka Nwaobi and former Minister of Information, Professor Sam Oyovbaire.

Others were: Secretary to the State Government, Dr Kingsley Emu; Chief of Staff to the Governor, Hon Johnson Erijo; Senior Political Adviser to the Governor, Hon. Funkekeme Solomon; Special Adviser on Transportation, Olorogun Jaro Egbo; Chairman Delta State Board of Internal Revenue, Hon. Solomon Ighrakpata; Managing Director DESOPADEC, Chief Festus Ochonogor; members of the State House of Assembly, Commissioner designates, Local Government Council Chairmen, traditional rulers and other dignitaries.

The multi-talented ljaw owigiri highlife music taliban from Ekogbene/Ndoro Community's in Delta/Bayelsa States, Sir. Code M. Buku popularly known as the Technical Guitarist has dropped a single debut music album titled: 'WHAT A BIG BLOW', a song dedicated in honour of the blessed memory of his big boss in the ljaw traditional music entertainment industry, late Chief. Joseph Ekeremieye who died in a ghastly motor accident alongside four members of Barrister Smooth musical band on Sunday 11th June, 2023 in Lokoja-Abuja high way.

Coded Buku disclosed this on Tuesday through his social media handle (Facebook), noted that the song talks about the sorrowful tragic end and misfortune that befalled his boss Joseph Ekeremieye, asking the world a rhetorical question whether untimely death could be also referred to as one's destiny in life ?

In the beautifully composed piece of music blended with ljaw language, pidgin english as well as slow and steady captivating highlife  beats at the background, Coded Buku described the untimely death of Ekeremieye as very painful and a big blow to ljaw nation, saying if the nature of his early departure to the other world is tagged as  destiny, that is a very bad one.   

Coded Buku with tears in his heart passionately pleaded with God to bring back Joseph Ekeremieye for the sake of his family and loved ones he left behind, exclaming the kind of wicked world and dirty life we are living.

Buku went further to note that for the fear of God, one cannot question His actions because the Bible clearly stated that in every situation in life, good or bad, we should give thanks to God Almighty because He is the creator and giver of life.

The former Joseph Ekeremieye back up artist, Coded Buku briefly captured some of Ekeremieye's beautiful artistic works where he lamented and Pray to God to bless him and his loved ones so that life would be meaningful and enjoyable to everyone because he was tired of poverty and life challenges.

But with all his prayers and heart desires he wishes for himself and friends through that song, at the end he suddenly died struggling in accident without reaping the fruits of his labour.

In the concluding part, the young talented instrumentalist pray God to accept the humble spirit of Joseph Ekeremieye at His heavenly kingdom, wishing his gentle soul to rest in perfect peace in the bosom of the Lord.

NNPCL discovers another illegal pipelines, 162 refineries in N/Delta

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has said it discovered 162 illegal pipeline connections and illegal refineries in the Niger Delta, mostly in Bayelsa in the past week.

In a documentary by the oil company shared via its social media ‘X’ handle on Wednesday,  NNPCL said 93 illegal pipeline connections and 69 illegal refineries were discovered from Aboa and Gbokoda between July 15 and 21, and had been destroyed.

It noted this as part of its fight against crude oil theft in the country.

“War on crude oil theft: 93 illegal pipeline connections discovered and 69 illegal refineries destroyed in the Niger Delta in the past week,” the company wrote.

According to NNPCL, the illegalities were discovered using its maritime intelligence system.

“30 wooden boats used in carrying stolen crude oil were confiscated in the past week, with some in Gbokodo, and five cases of oil spill recorded in the deep blue waters,” it said.

The PUNCH had reported how a militant group, a self-acclaimed Niger Delta militant group, Creek Reform Warriors threatened to resume attacks on major oil facilities in the region.

In a statement, the group particularly threatened to attack facilities operated by the Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited, over alleged unjust sacking of some workers in Forcados terminal.

Leader of the group, General Igbokuro Tinowei had demanded reinstatement of all workers from Ogulagha and Odimodi communities, who according to him, were sacked unjustly by SPDC in 2019.

He claimed that the IOC had promised to recall the sacked workers immediately after the COVID-19 pandemic, but serially defaulted; while warning the management of SPDC to reinstate the said workers within two weeks or face dire consequences of brutal attacks.

Amidst the uproar, the NNPCL said the Federal Government would renegotiate the country’s production quota in the ongoing OPEC+ cuts by November.
