The Secretary to the Delta State Government, Barrister Chiedu Ebie, has urged political appointees under Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s administration to promote good governance in the state, through effective representation of government policy thrusts.
Speaking at a meeting of political appointees from Delta North senatorial district (Anioma) held in Asaba, Barrister Ebie said Governor Okowa had made a resounding impact in social infrastructure and human empowerment worthy of support by political office holders in the state.
He said the Okowa example was unique and befitting of acclamation, given his historic ascendancy as the first Anioma son to be elected governor of Delta state.
