(DDM) – Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has embarked on a strategic working visit to Germany to strengthen the state’s partnership with international construction experts for enhanced infrastructure development.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) notes that the visit is part of the administration’s broader plan to attract global expertise and secure improved project execution terms for ongoing and future development initiatives across the state.
According to the Commissioner for Works and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, who briefed journalists in Asaba, the Governor’s visit is aimed at deepening technical collaboration with the renowned construction company, Julius Berger.
Aniagwu explained that discussions will center on engineering innovations, quality control systems, and cost management strategies to ensure efficient and timely completion of projects across Delta State.
He noted that Governor Oborevwori’s administration is determined to deliver durable infrastructure that meets international standards, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and sustainability in every phase of execution.
The commissioner further clarified that the trip is a working visit, not a political tour, stressing that it demonstrates the Governor’s proactive approach to governance and his readiness to engage directly with partners driving key infrastructural projects.
He highlighted that the partnership with Julius Berger aligns with the state’s drive to upgrade urban and rural connectivity through road networks, bridges, and modern public utilities.
Aniagwu recalled that Delta had earlier collaborated with Chinese construction firms, leading to the completion of major projects such as the Agbor and Ughelli flyovers, valued at nearly ₦100 billion.
He revealed that new infrastructural projects worth several billions of naira would soon commence across the three senatorial districts, focusing on roads, housing, and environmental rehabilitation.
According to him, the Germany visit also provides an opportunity for the state delegation to explore advanced construction technologies and renewable energy applications that can reduce costs and enhance sustainability.
He said, “Governor Oborevwori believes that Delta’s infrastructural transformation must be anchored on international best practices, technical excellence, and partnerships that deliver real value to the people.”
Stakeholders across Delta have lauded the initiative, describing it as a forward-thinking move that could reposition the state as a model for infrastructure-driven growth in the South-South region.
They also noted that engaging Julius Berger and other global partners directly would not only strengthen accountability but also ensure the transfer of technical expertise to local contractors and workers.
Governor Oborevwori’s trip, analysts say, underscores a shift from conventional project management to a more globally integrated approach to governance, one that prioritizes efficiency, transparency, and long-term development impact.
The administration maintains that every partnership it pursues abroad will ultimately translate into job creation, improved infrastructure, and better living standards for Deltans.
