COMMENDATION FOR ADVANCING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND APPEAL FOR INCLUSIVE WATERWAY TRANSPORT IN DELTA STATE
HIS EXCELLENCY,
SHERIFF OBOREVWORI
EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR OF DELTA STATE
GOVERNMENT HOUSE, ASABA, DELTA STATE
YOUR EXCELLENCY,
I would like to sincerely commend you for your remarkable efforts in improving transportation across Delta State through the provision of buses and electric vehicles. These initiatives have made commuting easier, more affordable, and more convenient for many residents. Your commitment to enhancing public transportation is truly appreciated.
However, I would like to humbly appeal for your attention to another important group of citizens—those living in riverine communities. Many of these communities have no road access and rely solely on waterways and boats as their only means of transportation.
Just as buses and electric vehicles have been provided to support those who travel by road, I kindly urge your administration to consider providing safe and accessible boats for these riverine communities. This would help subsidize transportation costs, improve mobility, increase access to healthcare, education, and economic opportunities, and ensure that no community is left behind.
An inclusive transportation system should cater to both road and waterway users. Such an initiative would further demonstrate your commitment to equitable development and the welfare of every Deltan, regardless of where they live.
Thank you for your continued service to the people of Delta State. May God grant you wisdom and strength as you continue to lead the state toward greater progress.
