Oborevwori Approves N275bn for Warri City Stadium, Others

The Delta State Government has approved over N275 billion for the implementation of 76 projects across various sectors in the state.

This decision was made during the inaugural Executive Council (EXCO) meeting of 2025, which was chaired by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori at the Government House in Asaba on Thursday, February 13.

Charles Aniagwu, Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, announced the approvals after the meeting, calling the decision “record-breaking” and a powerful response to critics.

Aniagwu highlighted that Governor Oborevwori’s administration is focused on delivering value to the people of Delta, with the approved projects aimed at enhancing infrastructure, improving health services, and advancing urban renewal. The projects will span across all three senatorial districts of the state, including the construction of roads, healthcare facilities, and urban redevelopment initiatives.

A significant feature of the approved projects is that they will be funded with 40% mobilization, with no need for the state to take out loans, reflecting the state’s financial stability and the transparent governance approach of Governor Oborevwori.
