The member representing Warri Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Chief Thomas Ereyitomi, has congratulated the people of Delta State on the occasion of its 29th anniversary.

The state was created on August 27, 1991 by the then military President, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida.

Hon. Ereyitomi remarked that Delta, which was carved out of former Bendel State, is moving forward faster in development since Nigeria as a country migrated into democratic administration in 1999, adding that the state had witnessed genuine development with physical structures on ground for the people to enjoy and be proud of being from a naturally oil-rich state in the Niger Delta.

He enjoined all Deltans as well as Warri Federal constituents to support the state government and its policies of improving the lives and well-being of the people as it is one of the best ways to benefit from government in all strata.

Ereyitomi, who is also the Deputy Chairman, House Committee on Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), enjoined his constituents across Warri South, Warri North and Warri South-West to celebrate as the state is witnessing changes from all sectors especially on road, schools, youth and women empowerment through various skills programmes building of infrastructures across the state as well as other basic needs of the people, assuring that more dividends of democracy and robust representation would be attracted to the people.

The parliamentarian congratulated Governor Okowa, former Governors Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, Chief James Ibori, Olorogun Felix Ibru as well as former Military Administrators for their contributions in developing the state.

Hon. Ereyitomi noted that Delta State and Warri Federal Constituency is experiencing smart and rapid development especially with the current representation and administration in the state.
