Staffers of Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC have commended Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan for its on-going re-organization of the commission.
At a Press briefing organized in Warri, the commission’s staff acting under the auspices of DESOPADEC Ethnic Nationalities Staff Congress, DENSC, noted that the Governor’s genuine interest has uplifted “the lives of millions of the hitherto impoverished people of the rich oil-bearing parts of the state”.
The statement which was read by the forum’s President, Comrade Agbateyiniro Weyinmi, declared that the Governor’s directives that no worker be dropped and that salaries of workers should not be reviewed downward shows his understanding of the pains people of oil bearing communities are going through as well as the attendant socio-political consequences such an exercise would have had on the people.
They particularly gave plaudits to the Governor for the quality of persons in the team of permanent secretaries he recently appointed as members of the IMC to re-organize the commission. According to them, after a thorough assessment of the activities of the Interim Management Committee, IMC, it became very clear that the IMC has not only brought experience and expertise to bear in their re-organizational exercise, but has also started giving hope to both staff of the commission and other stakeholders.
The statement which was signed by the 15-member DENSC executive assured the Governor of maximum votes from the Itsekiris, Ijaws, Urhobos, Isokos, Ndokwas and other friends as well as brothers in other parts of the state in the 2011 elections as a way of showing their deep appreciation.
The statement also appealed to all traditional rulers, opinion leaders, pressure groups as well as youth and women bodies, particularly those from DESOPADEC coverage areas to exercise patience with the commission’s Interim Management Committee.
