 The Chief Press Secretary to Delta State Governor, Sir Festus Ahon  has acknowledged and lauded members of Delta Online Publishers Forum (DOPF)  for keeping faith with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration through the excellent work of informing and educating the good people of  Delta State about the activities of the State government, particularly the administration’s M.O.R.E. Agenda.

Ahon who made the commendation during a media parley with Executive members of DOPF in Ughelli, Delta State on Saturday disclosed that the priority of Oborevwori’s   government  is centred on the provision of  welfare for the well being of the people of  Delta state.

“We are also committed to other development initiatives in the state. You are aware that just recently, a contract was awarded  to Julius Berger construction company worth N78bn to construct bridges, roads  in Warri and its environs.  These are some of the projects lined up to make life more better and meaningful  for the people of the state,” he stated.

Speaking earlier, the Chairman of Delta Online Publishers Forum (DOPF) Mr Emmanuel Enebeli  extended the group’s  heartfelt commendation to Sir Festus Ahon for his remarkable work as the Chief Press Secretary to Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon Sheriff Oborevwori.

He explained that Ahon’s dedication to his role and his relentless pursuit of excellence in the realm of inclusive public relations and prompt information accessibility deserves utmost appreciation.

“Let us all take a moment to applaud his exceptional service to the people of Delta State, especially in the promotion and sustaining of the drive to fulfill the M.O.R.E agenda of His Excellency,” he stated.

Enebeli  who said it was essential to highlight the need for an improved and more cooperative relationship between the Delta State Government and the Delta Online Publishers Forum pointed out that DOPF plays a vital role in disseminating information to the masses by providing a platform for open dialogue and helping to hold the government accountable to its promises.

According to him, “One of the key areas where we believe this collaboration can be strengthened is in advert placement on the websites of DOPF members. By increasing patronage of advertising on these websites, the government besides enjoying the benefit reaching people with information about it policies and programmes, thereby carrying them aalong, will be helping the forum to continue its important work of providing credible news and information to the public.

“This not only supports responsible journalism, but it also benefits local businesses and entrepreneurs by increasing their visibility and most importantly provides the government with a wider, more expansive scope, especially in this digital era where online platforms have become the veritable first preference for information sourcing and consumption, for thousands of Indigenes and citizens who traffic extensively round the clock, across these news portals, through their Smartphones.
