The Chairman of the Isoko South Local Government Council, Warri Friday, has presented his accomplishments to the Delta State House of Assembly Committee on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, led by Chukwudi Dafe, during the committee’s oversight visit to the local government area.
The council chairman emphasized that his administration is making every effort to deliver democratic dividends to the grassroots, despite the local government’s high recurrent expenditure of approximately 85%.
He underscored the administration’s commitment to infrastructure, agriculture, education, healthcare, and sustainable development, ensuring that every expenditure contributes to the progress of Isoko South residents, notwithstanding the high expenditure.
Friday named the key achievements since his administration took office in June 2024, to include the rehabilitation of the failed Ogbemudia Road, including drainage systems, remodeling of the chairman’s quarters, rehabilitation of the failed Irri-Oyede Road, and the rehabilitation of internal roads in Emede.
Others are ongoing construction of a new ultra-modern local government secretariat, establishment of a pepper farm to enhance the council’s internal revenue and the renovation of primary healthcare centers in Aviara, Uzere, and Oleh in collaboration with sister agencies, among others.

He expressed delight over the visit of the committee members, stating that the oversight serves as a guide to assist councils in aligning with state and federal governments policies.
Speaking on behalf of the committee, Dafe urged the council chairman to complement the efforts of the state government in attracting more development to all areas of the local government.
Dafe, who represents the Ukwuani Constituency in the House, stated that the grassroots must experience the positive impacts of the Tinubu administration and that of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.
“Meaningful development is crucial; that will bring satisfaction to the people who elected us, as I do not foresee the APC relinquishing power at the federal, state, and Isoko South levels anytime soon.
“It is essential that our people are protected through development initiatives and projects,” he added,
The highpoint of the visit was an inspection of some of the projects executed by the council chairman.
