Presently, there is no local government council area in Delta North that does not have at least three tarred roads attracted by me. This is a tip of the iceberg compared to what we plan to achieve for our people in the years ahead. I am proud of our people and our culture. I want a better Anioma and Delta State. A united Delta State will guarantee progress and development”, Senator Nwaoboshi stated.
