“Just last week, we started celebrating our 100 days in office and we commissioned about five projects in Asaba and environs; this week, we are going to commission five or more projects and next week, we are going to commission more and more projects.
“Till about the middle of next month, more and more projects will be commissioned to mark our 100 days in office. So I am very happy to be here to commission this project that is executed by an individual, it is a clear evidence that Deltans in the diaspora are comfortable with our MORE Agenda and are seeing reasons to come back home and invest.
“Really, there is no place like home and it is our collective responsibility to make Delta better for future generation. We have heard so much about japa syndrome, nobody is against migration, but we are working to make our State, Delta home to those who wants to japa from Europe to Africa, Delta is safe for investments”, he added.
