My second tenure will be very busy, says Okowa

In another development, the governor has called on journalists to partner with his administration by ensuring factual reportage of his programmes. Okowa noted that while his administration did so much in the area of infrastructure for Deltans in line with the prosperity agenda of his administration, in the next four years, more projects would be executed for a stronger Delta to be achieved.

He disclosed that the SMART agenda is the conveyor belt for a stronger Delta, assuring that ongoing projects would be completed soonest as his desire is for those life-changing programmes to be completed while new ones would be completed before the end of 2023.
