Represented by his Deputy, Sir Monday Onyeme, the governor explained that partnerships between the state and local governments ensure that development reaches communities more quickly and effectively.
According to him, empowering local councils to execute projects brings governance closer to the people and enables more responsive and impactful service delivery.
The commissioned projects included a renovated and fully furnished administrative block, a newly constructed ultra-modern staff building, and a generator house, all aimed at improving operational efficiency.
Oborevwori described these projects as practical investments that will enhance working conditions for staff and boost productivity within the council system.
In addition to infrastructure, the event also featured the distribution of empowerment items to youths, women, and vulnerable groups within the local government area.
