His words: “The governor has done more in two years than what other governors have done in eight years even in other states.
“The projects we are doing are projects that will stand the test of time; projects that will outlive our generation. We must give Deltans value. The governor will not compromise the welfare of Deltans and in all the projects he is doing, there is no borrowing,” he stated.
While soliciting the cooperation and support of the NUJ members for the promotion of peace and smooth governance in the state, even as he gave assurance of continued support for journalists in the state, he noted that it is in the atmosphere of peace and harmony that more progress can be made.
“We will continue to make efforts to improve the number of journalists in the state. My Principal, the governor, is a somebody who is media-friendly. We need your continued support for the government. When there is peace, more progress can be made.”
Responding, the chairman of the NUJ Delta State council, Comrd Churchill Oyowe, who led the team of Exco said that they came on behalf of the NUJ in the state to express the Union’s appreciation to the CPS for the great improvement in his support for journalists in the state, adding that magnanimity of the CPS in the recent Christmas gifts touched all the NUJ chapels in the state unlike previous years.

“Today, we are celebrating. All chapels in the state have been touched by your magnanimity … The food of God is thanksgiving, and we are like God. That is why we said we should not delay. We said we should come and tell you “thank you” for all that you have been doing. May the God we all serve bless you.”
In his response, thanked the NUJ state Exco for the visit, promised to follow up on the requests, assuring that his door is ever open to the Nigeria Union of Journalists.
