Agony of going to access learning centre in Delta Secondary School Okpe LGA

 

Students of Jeddo Secondary School in Okpe LGA, Delta state passes through hectic stress daily to access quality learning in the secondary school.

Students always navigate their way through to the Jeddo Secondary School which is situated at Popular Oil Road now known as School Road, the road is not motorable and is also difficult passing even with foot without swimming water sometimes in the deep holes filled with water on the earth road.

Commissioner for Secondary Education, Delta State, Mrs. Rose Ezewu couldn’t be reached to ascertain her level of commitment in making sure the state government respond positively towards synergy collaboration with the ministry of works for appropriate action in fixing the road.

Delta state government for the past years have not given adequate attention to the road and the area thereby living it for the residents of the community to carryout palliative on the road, but their effort can’t do anything meaningful to fix it.

Jeddo Secondary School is the only Government established secondary school owned by Delta State Government in the town which now becoming urban community because of the massive movement of people to the area springing up development erecting infrastructures around the vicinity.

The growing town is however also seeing the need for bigger land in order to relocate and expand the Jeddo Secondary school classroom and infrastructures among others.

Re: NSCDC Poised To Publish Names Of Perpetrators Of Crude Oil Theft, Pipeline Vandalism, Artisanal Refineries, Economic Sabotage

Re: Nscdc Poised To Publish The Names Of Perpetrators Of Crude Oil Theft, Pipeline Vandalism, Artisanal Refineries, Economic Sabotage

The attention of the Corps has been drawn to a publication in an online media where the writer erroneously wrote “military personnel” in a press statement credited to the Delta State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), on the above subject.

The NSCDC, Delta State Command, is still in shock over the publication, which grossly misrepresented the original content of the press release issued by the Command PRO, dated 11th June, 2022 and wishes to seize this opportune moment to clarify without any equivocation that, there was nowhere the military was mentioned as part of those sponsoring, aiding and abetting crude oil theft, pipeline vandalism, illegal refineries, illegal dealing in petroleum products and economic sabotage in the region.

Saddened by this misrepresentation of fact, the Delta State Commandant, Iskilu Akinsanya, expressed his concern and disappointment over the misguided writeup and therefore, distanced himself, the State Command or the Commandant General from the spurious report which did not in any way represent the views of the Delta State Command or that of the NSCDC top management at the National Headquarters, Abuja.

The Corps is a full fledged paramilitary agency of government which has over the years, maintained and sustained a robust relationship, synergy and effective collaboration with the military and the paramilitary agencies in the state and across the country, hence, will on no account be involved in any attempt to drag their integrity in the mud.

While expressing regret for any negative impact, the online publication, which is a figment of the writer’s imagination may have caused, the Corps wishes to once again assure the Nigerian military of its continuous respect and cooperation in any way it may be required in the cause of promoting National Security and the safety of Nigerians.

The online publisher acted in error and has since apologized for his mistakes.

Delta received over N1 trillion in seven years says Info Boss, Aniagwu

Delta State Commissioner for Information, Charles Aniagwu, said the government has received over N1 trillion in the last seven years contrary to the figures bandied by Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege.

Aniagwu, who spoke yesterday at a briefing in Asaba, said Omo-Agege has displayed poor understanding of statistics and ability to analyse data.

He said: “I read somewhere, where he said we have received over N700 billion in the last seven years and that we couldn’t account for that, and I begin to wonder N700 billion as what? It shows that he does not understand how governance runs because the data that is available shows that we have received more than that.

“I say so because he thinks what we use to run government alone in a year is N100 billion, that’s our wage bill alone, the recurrent side of the budget is even far more than what he was mentioning.

“As a government, we have added value to the people of Delta, whether they live in the creeks or in the upland, so for Omo-Agege to say N700 billion is not accounted for, you begin to wonder whether he understands governance.

“I thought that as a member of the National Assembly he should be able to do some calculations because there has never been any year where we drew up a budget that is less than N360 billion”. Mr. Charles Aniagwu stated.
