Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Dennis Guwor, has commended Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for the successful launch of the Delta State Security Trust Fund, describing it as a timely and strategic initiative geared toward enhancing peace, stability, prosperity, and good governance across the state.
Reacting to Wednesday’s official unveiling of the Fund, the Speaker lauded the Governor’s visionary leadership and proactive approach to strengthening Delta’s security architecture.
He noted that the establishment of the Fund demonstrates the administration’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding lives and property, while fostering a conducive environment for economic growth and investment.
Rt. Hon. Guwor, who also serves as the National Treasurer of the Conference of Speakers of State Houses of Assembly in Nigeria, assured that the Delta State House of Assembly remains committed to providing the necessary legislative backing and oversight to guarantee transparency, accountability, and effective utilization of the Fund.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Nkem Nwaeke, the Speaker reaffirmed the Assembly’s continuous support for policies and programmes that promote the welfare, safety, and prosperity of all Deltans.
He emphasized that the Security Trust Fund, established through legislation enacted by the State Assembly, was designed to mobilize additional resources to complement government’s efforts in maintaining peace and security.
Rt. Hon. Guwor expressed optimism that the initiative would attract substantial support from corporate organizations, development partners, and well-meaning individuals, citing the landmark ₦10 billion donation by the Chairman of Tantita Security Services, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo (Tompolo), as an inspiring example of private sector collaboration.
“The launch of the Security Trust Fund is a testament to Governor Oborevwori’s commitment to addressing security challenges and creating an enabling environment for businesses to thrive,” Guwor stated.
“This development marks a major milestone in our collective efforts to safeguard lives, property, and economic investments across Delta State. As representatives of the people, we recognize that security is the foundation of sustainable development.
“The Fund will provide critical support to our security agencies, enabling them to respond swiftly and effectively to emerging threats.”
He further urged all stakeholders to view security as a shared responsibility, calling for collective commitment to sustaining the initiative.
“Security is everyone’s business. I encourage all stakeholders to partner with the government in ensuring the success of this Fund. Together, we can make Delta a model of peace, safety, and prosperity,” the Speaker concluded
