Delta governor-elect Oborevwori pledges results-oriented, functional state legislature

Sheriff Oborevwori, the Delta governor-elect, has promised to work toward maintaining a functional, vibrant and results-oriented state legislature.
Mr Oborevwori, also the state House of Assembly speaker, made the pledge at a three-day training for the House staff members on Monday in Asaba.
He said that the legislature, as an arm of the government and citadel of representation of the peoples’ mandate, would continue to attract attention in terms of democratic practices and good governance.
“The leadership of the house rely on you in several fronts, including quality advice, efficient and effective service delivery and institutional continuity,” said the governor-elect, represented by the deputy speaker, Christopher Ochor.
To achieve the foregoing, he said that the House needed a well-groomed, effective, efficient, and amenable workforce.
Mr Oborevwori said this had led to efficiency, effectiveness and productivity among officers, middle and management staff of the House.
The governor-elect said that as the most vibrant state House of Assembly in the country, the intention was to have the best and brightest members of staff for better service delivery to complement lawmakers at the House.
The speaker thanked the body of technocrats of the House, led by the clerk and her team for faithfully transforming the dreams and vision of the seventh Assembly into concrete reality.
In her opening remarks, the house clerk, Lyna Ocholor, said that from the beginning of the seventh assembly, Mr Oborevwori made a promise of training and retraining of staff, and that he had consistently ensured several capacity building Programmes for the workforce.
She thanked the speaker and his team for making the work of assembly staff so perfect that it placed them amongst the best in the country.
