Directorate of Gender and Development Studies of Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro

By Marvis Osiobe-Eterigho

The Director of the Directorate of Gender and Development Studies of Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro, Dr. (Mrs) Justina Oboreh has said Gender equity is not just a matter of justice, fairness but about ensuring that everyone regardless of gender have access to the same opportunities and resources to attain height in life.

Dr. Oboreh stated this yesterday at Ozoro during the maiden conference organized by the Directorate of Gender and Development Studies at the University main auditorium.

The conference tagged: ‘Promoting Gender Equity and Development: Empowering Women and Fostering Community Engagement’ was convened by the Director of the Directorate of Gender and Development Studies, Dr. Justina Oboreh.

Speaking at the event, Dr. Justina said that  equity is a necessary strategy for sustainable development.

According to her, when women are empowered, they contribute meaningfully to  economic growth and political stability of the society. “Community engagement is the lifeblood of gender equity. Communities can become agents of governance through dialogue, participation and shared responsibilities.”

Speaking at the event, Dr. Justina said that  equity is a necessary strategy for sustainable development, adding that Gender equity is not just a matter of justice. Gender equity is not just about fairness. It is about ensuring that everyone regardless of gender have access to the same opportunities and resources to attain height.”

The Director stated further that “when women are empowered, they contribute meaningfully to  economic growth and political stability of the society”.

She underscored the relevance of Gender equity that “Community engagement is the lifeblood of gender equity. Communities can become agents of governance through dialogue, participation and shared responsibilities.”

She further stated that in Nigerian politics, female participation is low using Delta State as an example having just two females at the House of Assembly.

Speaking also, Dr. Juliet Alex-Nmecha, the Librarian of Rivers State University, Port Harcourt said “we are the cause of gender inequality. This is because we assigned some specific roles to a specific gender.  “Another factor was that we have gotten used to the ‘male domineering syndrome’.

She however encouraged everyone not to be afraid. “We are in this together”, she added.

She therefore appealed to Dr. Justina Oboreh to carry everyone along. “Today you happen to be the wife of the Vice Chancellor. There are women in this place. Your position now is to lift them”.

The Distinctive Features of the Sheriff Oborevwori Administration

Governor Sheriff Oborevwori

The Sheriff Oborevwori Administration of Delta State has presented series of spectacular events, some of which defy human logic. Governor Oborevwori himself emerged Governor after surviving as many as 38 court cases, which were veritable land mines strewn on his part to stop him from becoming Governor. As a man destined to govern the state, he weathered all storms, and today, no one is in doubt that he didn’t become governor by chance but through divine orchestration.

The 18 -month old administration of Sheriff Oborevwori,  with its M.O.R.E agenda mantra, presents features that are distinct from those of his predecessors in ways that are deliberately remarkable:

(1) A PREDILECTION FOR QUALITY PROJECTS

One distinctive feature of the Oborevwori administration is its emphasis on quality projects. The administration has thus hired reputable construction firms like Julius Berger,  CCC construction company, CCECC, Levant Construction Company, SETRACO and tested home grown construction firms like Obakpor Engineering Limited to execute its high profile construction projects.

While Julius Berger is handling the construction of three bridges, cloverleaf and road expansion projects in Warri/Effurun metropolis, CCECC is handling the sector C of the 167 Kilometer Asaba Ughelli expressway including the complex Obo bridge at Ogwashi Uku.

SETRACO is handling the ambitious Trans-Warri Ode 20.95 Kilometer Itsekiri road with multiple bridges and spurs. Also, Obakpor Engineering, a reputable indigenous firm, is handling the Orere bridge in the Ughelli South Local Government area.

Remarkably, Governor Oborevwori pays personal attention to these projects to complement the efforts of  competent Commissioners and government Engineers who oversee them. Besides, Governor Oborevwori has the spectacular habit of setting aside monies for projects while still under construction to avoid project abandonment. To this end, all the projects bequeathed to it by the Okowa administration have either been completed or are at varying stages of completion.

 

(2) ZERO TOLERANCE FOR SHODDY OR SUB-STANDARD PROJECTS

Right from inception, Governor Oborevwori made it clear to Contractors that his administration was going to have zero tolerance for shoddy or substandard jobs. He made it clear that contracts were going to be awarded to only competent contractors in line with the M.O.R.E agenda of the administration. To this end, he appointed a competent civil Engineer as the Special Adviser for Project Monitoring and Audit and a strong team of project monitors to ensure compliance.

Governor Oborevwori ensures that monies set aside for projects have value just as he abhors cutting corners or use of out-of-specification materials for projects .

 

(3) JUDICIOUS USE OF PUBLIC FUNDS FOR PUBLIC GOOD

Governor Oborevwori is a good manager of men and resources and he exhibits these good traits in the management of state resources. Since mounting the saddle as Governor of Delta state, he has not borrowed a kobo to finance Government projects. He works within means and ensures that government obligations to contractors and civil/public servants are met as at when due.

Oborevwori has consistently plugged all areas of waste or leakages while also ensuring that Government does not indulge in reckless expenditure that gives the impression that his government is a “Father Christmas”

 

(4) DELIBERATE AND SUSTAINABLE HUMAN CAPITAL ENGAGEMENT

In line with the M.O.R.E Agenda, Governor Oborevwori started early by recruiting 3000 teaching and non-teaching staff across the 25 local government areas of the state. The Governor also ensured that students of Delta State origin, numbering over 60,000 in tertiary institutions across the country, received their 2022/2023 bursary while also approving a 25% reduction in acceptance fees in the four state-owned universities. The Governor has so far done three tranches of palliative distribution to widows, the aged, and vulnerable segments of the society.

The State’s MORE GRANT SCHEME has recorded tremendous results as thousands of beneficiaries in targeted trades/artisans have been empowered. Meanwhile, direct beneficiaries of the Delta COVID-19 Action Recovery and Economic Stimulus (D-CARES) had exponentially increased from 36,353 to 110,841 within one year of the Oborevwori administration. The Delta State government, under Oborevwori’s watch, is poised to create 50,000 jobs with the introduction of Special Agricultural Economic Zones with special strategic partnership with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, the African Development Bank, and International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA ), amongst others.

Also, the Oborevwori administration has given financial assistance to students of Delta State extraction in seven Nigeria law schools across the  Nation. This is in addition to the payment of N14.5 billion as pension obligations to retired workers in the State. As a workers-friendly administration, Governor Oborevwori has not only paid the outstanding promotion arrears of civil servants but also promptly  approved a minimum wage of N77,000 Naira for civil servants in the State.

 

(5) DELIBERATE YOUTH ENGAGEMENT AT HIGH LEVEL OF GOVERNANCE

Perhaps no government before it in Delta State has given youths the opportunity to participate in high levels of Government as the Oborevwori administration has done. The Oborevwori administration lived up to its campaign promise by unprecedentedly giving several youths opportunities to serve as members of the state Executive Council. About 30% of the state commissioners are below 40, and this is replicated in the number of youths who are EAs, SSAs, and SAs. This policy has brought a lot of succour to youths in the state and increased capacity building, youth empowerment, and succession planning in governance.

 

(6) EMPOWERMENT OF MORE WOMEN IN GOVERNMENT THROUGH POLICY OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION

The government of Oborevwori is very women-friendly. To foster gender inclusiveness, Governor Oborevwori directed the state PDP to ensure that when a man emerges as Chairmanship candidate in the local government election, the Vice Chairman must be a woman. The Governor also directed that at least three women must emerge as Councillors in each of the Local Government Councils.

The last local government election, therefore, produced more women in that tier of government than any administration before it since 1999. This policy again has engendered inclusion and peace in the state.

 

(7) A GOVERNMENT OF INCLUSION

The Oborevwori administration promised to run a government of inclusion and has so far lived to its promise. To create an atmosphere of inter-party harmony and cohesion, Governor Oborevwori appointed several opposition party chairmen to serve in his government. That aside, the Governor gave appointments to non-indigenes in the state and gave the nonindigene community in the state a special status, thus fostering a unique opportunity for them to participate in the affairs of government.

 

(8) A MORE BALANCED PATRONAGE AND RESOURCE DISTRIBUTION TO THE DIFFERENT ETHNIC NATIONALITIES IN DELTA STATE

The Government of Sheriff Oborevwori has deliberately created ethnic balancing by ensuring even distribution of patronage and resources to the different ethnic nationalities in the state. At no time before now has the different ethnic nationalities experienced this type of inter-communal peace in the state. For the first time since 1999, the Ndokwa Nation produced a Deputy Governor. An Itsekiri man is the state Chairman of PDP, while an Ijaw man is the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly. An Isoko man is the Chief of Staff while an Ika man is the SSG. The Aniocha/Oshimili Federal constituency has produced the Senator representing Delta North in the Senate. The Political lines has fallen in pleasant places, and no community is left out. The Isoko people were recently pleasantly surprised when Governor Oborevwori facilitated a new faculty of  Basic medical sciences in the University of science and Technology Ozoro and also approved immediate building of a new faculty building to accommodate students into the new faculty. Such is the spirit with which the Governor creates community peace and security .

The aforementioned Political craftmanship perhaps explains the reason why Sheriff Oborevwori had the distinction of being not only the longest-serving speaker in the Delta state of Assembly (11th May 2017 – May 28th, 2023) but also the only speaker in the history of the Assembly to have transmuted from one administration to another.

I am losing my sight to Glaucoma – Silas Akporobaro

Silas Akporobaro

…cries out for help

By Kelvin Ohoror
A middle aged man, Mr. Silas Akporobaro, aged 48 from Okpe-Isoko in Isoko North Local Government Area, Delta State, has made a passionate appeal for financial assistance as he battles the devastating effects of glaucoma, a condition that is causing him to gradually lose his sight.

He made this appeal during an exclusive interview with this reporter when he shared his painful experience, explaining that his vision problems began in 2013. According to him, over the years, he has sought treatment from various eye specialists, but the situation has only worsened.

“Since 2013, I have been dealing with this vision problem. After several tests, I was diagnosed with glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness worldwide. At the time, no one advised me to undergo surgery, and I was only given medication. “Unfortunately, as I kept taking the drugs, my condition deteriorated,” Silas explained.

Narrating his ordeal further, he stated that despite the treatments, his sight continued to decline, forcing him to sell off all his properties in a desperate attempt to fund medical bills. “Two years ago, I lost my job, and since then, surviving has been a daily struggle. I have no money left for medication,” he lamented.

Recent medical tests at Lily Hospital in Warri revealed that Silas’s condition has progressed to a critical stage. “Doctors told me there’s nothing more they can do, and that I will have to live with it for the rest of my life,” he said.

He however, stated that there may still be hope, that he has discovered an alternative organic treatment that could potentially reverse the damage.

“The drugs are very expensive—₦150,000 per month for 9 to 12 months. With consistent treatment, there is a chance my sight could be restored,” he explained, appealing to the public for help.

Silas is not only battling his health crisis but also severe financial difficulties. He noted that has been unable to pay his rent for two years, and eviction looms.

“I am owing my landlord ₦180,000 in yearly rent, and soon I will be thrown out. I am begging for financial support to cover my treatment and secure a stable place to live,” he added.

Despite the dire circumstances, Silas remains hopeful. “It is been hell, but by God’s grace, I am still alive. Without income, I have been relying on the kindness of friends and strangers to survive. But now, I urgently need help to fund my treatment and reverse this condition.”

Silas is reaching out to well-meaning individuals, organisations, and philanthropists for assistance. Any financial support can help him cover the cost of the organic drugs necessary to restore his vision and give him a fighting chance at a better life.
