"With the encouragement and empowerment of youths in the state, the Governor had taken the youths out of the streets and equally, reduced crime rate in Delta State" .....Sunny Onuesoke

“What is happening in Delta State right now is that, most of these youths empowered by the Governor have become employers of labour in the state, thereby, taking the majority of the youths who would have become a menace to the society, out of the streets. This had gone a long way in reducing the crime rate in Delta State”.

Prominent chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Delta state, Chief Sunny Onuesoke has joined teeming deltans and Nigerians in commending the Delta State Governor, Senator Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa on his appointment and elevation of Ossai Ovie Success, a 27-year-old graduate of the Delta State University Abraka, as a Special Assistant.

It will be recalled that Ossai Success was the youngest political appointee of any sitting State Chief Executive at the age of twenty three years during his first tenure.

Onuesoke, who has remained a strong voice in the defense of democracy both at the state and national level, congratulated the new appointee who would now assume office as a Special Assistant on Special Duties to Governor Okowa.

The PDP Chieftain, while addressing media practitioners at the state capital in Asaba, revealed that it did not come to him as a surprise by the Governor’s decision to elevate Mr. Ovie Success.

He stressed that since Governor Okowa assumed office, one of his principles is geared towards formulated policies, programmes and projects aimed at addressing youth development, unemployment and restiveness in the state.

“As such, the case of Ovie Success is one among majority”, he stated.

According to him, Beside giving appointments to scores of youths in Delta State, Okowa’s belief in the youths as the bedrock for socio-economic development of the Delta state, resulted in the transformation of no fewer than forty thousand unemployed youths into owners of businesses and employers of labour via the Okowa’s job creation scheme.

He recalled that just early this year, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa inducted 1,180 youths for six months training towards job creation, adding that the inductees have undergone skills in catering, event management, beauty services, agricultural production, agricultural processing, food packaging, tiling, plumbing and electrical installations, among others.

Onuesoke maintained that with the encouragement and empowerment of youths in the state, the Governor had taken the youths out of the streets and equally, reduced crime rate in Delta State.

“What is happening in Delta State right now is that, most of these youths empowered by the Governor have become employers of labour in the state, thereby, taking the majority of the youths who would have become a menace to the society, out of the streets. This had gone a long way in reducing the crime rate in Delta State”, he stated.
