By Abel Johngold Orheruata
The Wife of the Governor of Delta State, Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori, has inaugurated the state-of-the-art Oko Event Centre in Oko Amakom.
The occasion also marked the launch of a ₦50 million empowerment initiative for 500 beneficiaries within Oshimili South Local Government Area.
Each recipient received ₦100,000, while 20 bags of rice were distributed to each political ward in the council.
The event centre, a flagship project of Hon. Dr. High Chief Obi Kelvin Ezenyili, the Executive Chairman of Oshimili South Local Government Council, was lauded by the First Lady as a transformative project that promises significant socio-economic benefits for the community.
Deaconess Oborevwori praised the grassroots-focused leadership of Dr. Obi Ezenyili, describing the project as a testament to his commitment to improving lives. She urged the people of Oshimili South to continue supporting the council’s efforts, emphasizing that the Oko Event Centre would stimulate economic activities and foster community growth.

In his remarks, Dr. Obi Ezenyili explained that the event centre aligns with the MORE agenda of the state administration and addresses the community’s long-standing need for a standard facility for social gatherings. He highlighted the project’s impact in reducing the need for residents to travel to Asaba for such events.
The council chairman also flagged off the empowerment programme designed to promote inclusiveness and reduce youth restiveness. Beneficiaries included Persons with Disabilities, artisans, religious groups, youth leaders, traditional institutions, and members of various ethnic communities in Oshimili South.
Hon. Bridget Anyafulu, the member representing Oshimili South in the State Assembly, and Chief Victor Obi, the Odua of Oko Amakom, commended the Governor and his administration for the project and called for further developmental initiatives, including the establishment of a secondary school in Oko Amakom.
The inauguration of the Oko Event Centre underscores the council’s focus on developmental governance and its resolve to deliver democratic dividends to the people.
