Calls for Urgent Action on Community Security to Protect Deltans and Businesses
The Delta Online Publishers Forum (DOPF) has congratulated His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, and the people of Delta State on the occasion of the state’s 34th anniversary.
Delta State, created on August 27, 1991, by former Military President, Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, GCFR, has grown into a hub of cultural diversity, remarkable development, and progressive governance, bringing government closer to the people through people-oriented policies and programmes.
While recognising the state’s achievements over the last three decades, DOPF noted that Delta has also faced developmental challenges, particularly in industrial expansion and security.
The Forum stressed that these issues remain critical and must be addressed with renewed focus to fully realise the state’s economic and social potential.
In a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Ehvwubare Oghenekparobo, FIMC, ANIPR, the Forum commended Governor Oborevwori for his pragmatic leadership and the visible impact of his M.O.R.E Agenda, saying the programme has already improved standards of project execution, particularly in road infrastructure.
According to DOPF, these strides “represent deliberate steps to entrench good governance and accelerate development.”
However, the Forum urged the Governor to use the occasion of the 34th anniversary to assent to the recently passed Community Security Bill by the Delta State House of Assembly and establish effective structures for its implementation.
DOPF believes that the Bill, once operational, “would provide a solid institutional framework to complement existing measures in addressing insecurity—one of the major challenges confronting communities and businesses in the state.”

The Forum added: “As we celebrate this milestone, we commend the contributions of past leaders and all arms of government to the progress of Delta State since creation. We equally salute the resilience and determination of Deltans, whose collective drive continues to shape the state’s forward march.”
DOPF reaffirmed its commitment to supporting government initiatives through constructive reportage, balanced analysis, and developmental journalism in the overall interest of building a stronger, safer, and more prosperous Delta State.
