The Governor of Delta State, Sheriff Oborevwori, yesterday, handed over five brand-new operational vehicles (“Green Marias”) to the Delta State Command of the Nigerian Correctional Service.

The presentation, which took place at the Government House, Asaba, underscores the administration’s ongoing commitment to strengthening the justice system and enhancing security across the state.

Represented by his Deputy, Sir Monday Onyeme, the governor emphasised that an efficient correctional service relies heavily on robust logistics and seamless mobility.

He said: “These operational vehicles will enhance the day-to-day activities of officers, improve response capacity, strengthen supervision and coordination, and support the effective discharge of their responsibilities.

“By equipping the Command with the tools it needs to perform optimally, we are reinforcing our commitment to a more efficient justice and security system.

“As I hand over these vehicles today, I reaffirm the commitment of the Delta State Government to working with all security and justice institutions in building a safer and more secure state for all.”

“The presentation of these five brand-new operational vehicles (Green Marias) to the Delta State Command of the Nigerian Correctional Service is a donation that practically demonstrates our resolve to strengthen the justice system and support the institutions responsible for maintaining peace, security, and the rule of law, bearing in mind that an efficient correctional service depends on reliable logistics and mobility.”
