The Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has assured Deltans that his trip to Germany would strengthen the state’s partnership with construction giant Julius Berger.
Oborevwori, who will on Tuesday depart for Germany, explained that the visit was strictly designed to deepen technical collaboration and secure more favourable project terms for Delta State.
The governor, who spoke through his Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Charles Aniagwu, on Monday in Asaba, noted that the official working visit was not for leisure.
He said, “Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, I and the Technical Assistant to the Governor will on Tuesday depart for Germany for a working mission
“The purpose of this visit is to strengthen our ongoing partnership with Julius Berger. His Excellency is known for his negotiation skills, and this trip will help us secure better deals and concessions that will benefit the state.
“The visit is not for leisure but part of the administration’s continuous efforts to enhance project delivery and cost efficiency.”
According to him, the state’s previous engagement with China led to the award of major contracts, including the N59 billion Agbor flyover and the N39 billion Otovwodo Junction, Ughelli flyover on the Warri–Patani Expressway.
The governor added that he had directed that all upcoming empowerment programmes, scheduled to begin next month, must be transparent and inclusive across all 25 local government areas.
He said the initiative would be coordinated by key ministries and agencies to create sustainable livelihoods and boost productivity.
