The people of Emevor Kingdom in Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta State have appreciated the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and the Executive Assistant to the Governor on Beautification, Chief Emmanuel Okpomo for providing solar street lights in the community.

President-General of Emevor Progress Union (EPU), Comrade Teddy Edoso, gave the commendation on behalf of the community in a statement made available to journalists on Thursday.

Edoso said the people were happy with the development especially as the state government had recently completed the Phase 1 of the Emevor-Orogun Road with work currently ongoing in the second phase of the project.

Edoso while thanking the NDDC and Okpomo for the gesture, said that the confidence of the people have been boosted with the various projects attracted to the community.

The community leader also commended the member representing Isoko Federal Constituency, Hon. Jonathan Ukodhiko for the presentation of hospital equipments and fertilisers to farmers in the community.

He said, “the street lights have added colour to the road recently constructed for us by the Delta State Government under Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration.

“The solar street lights will improve security and economic activities within the community at night and we can’t thank the NDDC and our illustrious son, Chief Emmanuel Okpomo enough.

“I also on behalf of our dear community, appreciate our House of Representatives member, Hon. Jonathan Ukodhiko for attracting hospital equipments to Ivrogbo-Emevor health centre and presentation of fertilisers to our farmers.”
