Senator Ovie Omo-Agege is coming for state development in Delta State

 Delta State should be comparable to the most developed amongst states in Nigeria. In terms of comparative development, Delta State has little or nothing to show for its enormous fiscal allocations from the federation account and natural resources. It is indubitable that there is a clamor for change built on a powerful yearning for a productive, practical, and strategic political direction.

It is against this background that Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, the Deputy President of the Senate (DSP) and Senator representing Delta State Central senatorial district, is a public servant that is graced beyond measure on matters of public policy, effective representation, and good governance. Omo-Agege, has a track record and incredible achievements in just two years as Deputy Senate President (DSP) and the Senator representing Delta Central senatorial district. On assumption of office, Omo-Agege, made a commitment to give a periodic public account of his stewardship at the Senate to his constituents. Premised on the notion that, there can be no accountability without access to elected representatives and the opportunity to speak truth to power, the DSP directed that an objective yearly account of his public service and leadership at the Senate be made available to the people of Delta Central and the public.

Based on anecdotal evidence gleaned from National Assembly records, Omo-Agege holds the record as the most productive Senator elected by Delta Central on core legislative duties, constituency projects, and strategic political engagements. During the second year of his tenure as DSP and Senator representing Delta Central, Omo-Agege secured, facilitated, influenced, and executed more than 75 electrification projects and successfully pursued the federal government approval for the establishment of 1.3 megawatts solar hybrid power plant at the Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Ugbomro, Delta State. This was in addition to facilitating the laying of the foundation for the construction of NDPHC/NIPPS injection substation to improve power supply to Orogun town and environs. These verifiable projects were cited and spread across every local government area of Delta Central and benefitting other senatorial district because of its multiplier effects and economies of scale. Rural electrification as a process of connecting electricity to rural and remote communities, is a major development issue in Delta State. In many instances, the national grid fell short of electricity demands. With the policy and economic understanding that improved electricity supply will enrich agriculture, enhance communication, and create employment for farmers, women, and youth, Omo-Agege addressed the issue substantially to the advantage of Delta State.

As a matter of policy and economic development in Delta Central and Delta State, Omo-Agege believes that an improved access to clean, safe, and reliable water system in Delta Central will make Delta State an attractive destination for critical public and private infrastructure and investments. It will also improve agriculture, healthcare, and sanitary solutions. There are many communities that have been neglected by the state government on this problem to the detriment of economic growth and progress. One can imagine the effect of the dire need in communities that rely on unsafe sources of water. The DSP took up this issue as a matter of urgency for Delta Central. Consequently, on his second year alone, Omo-Agege through the performance of his core legislative duties, executed more than 18 safe water projects to expand access to clean water in Delta Central.

In just his second year in office, the DSP’s legislative agenda dug deeper into educational development in Delta State that focused on the extension and expansion of technical education in the state. The overall idea is to pursue policies and design academic programs that will equip Deltans and other Nigerians with the best tools that will spur innovations in science, business, and technology that can help meet the challenges of economic development primarily in Delta State. To bring this goal into fruition, one of the most significant record of the DSP in his second year in office is successfully pursuing the approval of the Presidency for the take off and commencement of studies at the Federal Polytechnic, Orogun in October 2022. The citing of a Federal Polytechnic in Delta Central is a major development milestone, for which the social and economic advantages for Delta State cannot be overemphasized. Recall that during the DSP’s first year in office, he initiated and sponsored the bill for the establishment of the Federal Polytechnic at Orogun, Delta State.
