Comrade Reuben Izeze, the Delta State Commissioner for Works (Highways and Urban Roads), has issued a heartfelt Christmas message to residents of Delta State, known as Deltans, calling on them to embody the seasonal values of peace, love, and unity. The message, released ahead of the 2025 Christmas celebrations, also highlights the significant progress made under Governor Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori's administration in delivering critical infrastructure projects across the state.
Speaking on behalf of his family, as well as the management and staff of the Ministry of Works (Highways and Urban Roads), Izeze congratulated Governor Oborevwori and all Deltans on the occasion. He extended goodwill to the ministry's partners and stakeholders, wishing everyone a joyful Christmas and a prosperous New Year. "As we celebrate this season of hope and renewal, let us embrace the spirit of peace, love, and unity that Christmas represents," Izeze urged, encouraging citizens to use the festive period to foster harmonious coexistence.
The commissioner particularly commended Governor Oborevwori for his unwavering commitment to constructing high-quality roads, bridges, and drainage systems throughout Delta State. These initiatives, he noted, align directly with the administration's MORE Agenda—an acronym for Meaningful Development, Opportunities for All, Realistic Reforms, and Enhanced Peace and Security. This policy framework has guided the government's efforts to elevate living standards and promote equitable growth.
Izeze emphasized that the sustained investment in infrastructure has yielded tangible benefits, providing relief to road users, advancing urban development, and boosting economic activities in various communities. Projects spanning highways, urban roads, and drainage systems have addressed long-standing challenges like flooding and traffic congestion, while opening up new opportunities for commerce and mobility. "The governor's resolve in this area demonstrates a clear focus on delivering people-oriented development that touches every part of the state," Izeze stated.
Under Oborevwori's leadership, the Ministry of Works has overseen numerous flagship projects, including road expansions, bridge reconstructions, and stormwater management initiatives. These efforts have been praised for their quality and timely execution, contributing to Delta State's reputation as a hub of ongoing transformation. The MORE Agenda has been instrumental in ensuring that development is inclusive, reaching rural and urban areas alike, and supporting broader goals like job creation and investor attraction.
Izeze prayed for the joy of Christmas to bring peace, love, and happiness to every home in Delta State. He expressed optimism about the future, predicting a more prosperous New Year marked by continued progress. "Let us reflect on the blessings of the season and renew our commitment to building a stronger, united Delta," he added, calling on Deltans to support the government's initiatives for sustained growth.
This Christmas message comes at a time when the Oborevwori administration is preparing for an ambitious 2026 budget, with significant allocations for infrastructure to accelerate the MORE Agenda. Residents have welcomed such seasonal greetings from officials, viewing them as affirmations of the government's dedication to improving quality of life amid national economic challenges.
As families gather for celebrations on December 25, 2025, Izeze's words resonate as a reminder of hope and collective aspiration for a brighter future in Delta State.
