“Your intervention in the Health sector, which has resulted in the upgrading of existing health facilities as well the directive to address the “Japa Syndrome” by your express approval to immediately recruit skilled medical personnel to make up for the depleted number of trained and experienced medical staff who have relocated to other climes, is quite commendable”.

The Forum urged the government to consider blue rail construction, to connect the major cities in the State. And connect to semi- Urban and rural areas, adding that it will help lift some of our agricultural produce, help avoid loss, and help reduce transportation challenges, as it will not only increase connectivity challenges in the state, but also provide economic growth rate and employment opportunities.

Transparency and effective communication with the media will foster a more informed and engaged populace, it added.

“Lastly, we look forward to seeing a comprehensive roadmap for the state’s economic policy that will drive the M.O.R.E Agenda of your administration to maximal accomplishments. Such a roadmap will provide a clear vision for Delta State’s future growth and development. The DOPF is eager to see and appraise any form of Economic Development Plan for this State and it will quite desirable and commendable even to suggest that your administration should, as a matter of genuine concern and importance, explore immediate possibility of putting together, the First Economic and Infrastructure Development Plan for the State for a period of 25 -50 years, which will span your administration, provide ample opportunity for the delivery of the brilliant MORE Agenda and establish a workable and functional platform for your successors”.
