Gov Oborevwori supports Delta NUJ with brand-new bus

Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has donated a brand-new Toyota Hiace bus to the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Delta State Council, to support the union in carrying out its activities.

The vehicle was presented to the NUJ in Asaba on Tuesday by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon.

Ahon said the donation was part of the state government’s effort to maintain its cordial relationship with journalists across Delta State.

He explained that the bus was meant specifically for the use of the NUJ council and expressed the governor’s hope that the gesture would further strengthen cooperation between the government and the media in the state.

He said, “This bus donation is to you for the use of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Delta State Council. This gesture is as a result of the good relationship that we have had over the years.”

According to Ahon, Oborevwori also expressed optimism that the gesture would foster a stronger partnership between the government and the media and contribute to the development of Delta State.

He congratulated the NUJ leadership and members on the acquisition of the vehicle and prayed that it would serve the union effectively.

Receiving the bus, the Chairman of the Delta State NUJ Council, Churchill Oyowe, thanked the governor for fulfilling his promise to the union.

Oyowe described the donation as a demonstration of Oborevwori’s commitment to keeping his word.

“We are most grateful. What the Governor has done today is a demonstration of the fact that he promises and he delivers. He made his promise, and he has delivered,” he said.

The NUJ chairman said the donation went beyond providing the union with a vehicle, noting that the bus was brand-new and a modern model that would enhance the council’s activities.

“We want to say a big thank you to His Excellency for this gesture. We do not take it for granted, and we believe that it will further cement our cordial working relationship,” Oyowe said.

He also commended the Oborevwori administration for its development efforts across the state, expressing optimism that the government would record more achievements before the end of its tenure.

Oyowe reaffirmed the union’s commitment to maintaining a cordial relationship with the state government, saying journalists in the state appreciated the partnership and support of the administration.

He also thanked the Secretary to the State Government, the Commissioners for Works (Rural Roads) and Information, as well as the Chief Press Secretary, for their roles in ensuring that the donation was realised.
