The Deputy Governor pointed out that “Chief Oguma who is the Chairman and Managing Director of Obakpor Engineering Company Limited has contributed immensely to the development of the state through quality network of road projects and the progress of the party in the state.

The Deputy Governor said, “To do that was not a small feat to achieve,  judging from the difficult terrain. The movement of materials,  equipment and personnel to Ogulagha Kingdom which is in the Atlantic Ocean was not an easy task. But Chief Oguma company  was able to deliver quality projects to the government and the community.

They prayed that God will continue to guide and keep them in good health for them to do more for Delta State,  while enjoining all Deltans to rally round and support them for more good  things to happen in the state in the years ahead.
