Delta Governor Delivers Historic State of the State Address, Approves CONLESS for Assembly Staff

Governor Oborevwori Highlights Achievements, Commits to MORE Agenda

In a landmark moment for Delta State, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori on Tuesday delivered the first-ever State of the State Address at the Delta State House of Assembly Chamber, marking a major milestone in the state’s democratic and governance history.

The address, which coincides with the mid-term review of his administration, offered a comprehensive reflection on the achievements and ongoing efforts under the MORE Agenda—a policy framework anchored on **servant leadership, transparency, accountability, innovation, and excellence.

Governor Oborevwori outlined key infrastructural and socio-economic strides recorded across the state’s three Senatorial Districts. These include:

* Massive road and bridge construction projects
* Reforms in the education and health sectors
* Enhanced security architecture
* Robust social investment initiatives
* Expanded investment and economic opportunities

“These accomplishments reflect our unwavering commitment to delivering inclusive and people-centered governance,” the governor said.

In a major policy move, Governor Oborevwori announced the approval of the Consolidated Legislative Salary Structure (CONLESS) for management and staff of the Delta State House of Assembly. The implementation takes effect from June 2025.

“This is a testament to our appreciation of the critical role the legislature plays in sustaining democracy and promoting development,” he noted.

The governor expressed deep appreciation to the Speaker and members of the House of Assembly, members of the Executive Council, and the Civil Service for their partnership in delivering the administration’s agenda.

He also thanked the people of Delta State for their “unwavering support and collective resolve to move the state forward.”

Governor Oborevwori’s address has been widely described as a bold reaffirmation of his administration’s commitment to good governance and sustainable development.
