Delta State House of Assembly, Tuesday resumed plenary after five weeks recess with a call on members to be up and doing at ensuring steady growth of democratic governance in the state.

Speaker, Rt Hon Emomotimi Guwor while welcoming the lawmakers to the Hallowed Chamber, urged all to be mindful as the task ahead will be challenging but not insurmountable.

Guwor who recalled that the House had adjourned for recess on the 2nd of August, 2023, said the break became necessary for members to settle down for legislative business.

The Speaker reflected on the professional disposition of members in the screening of Commissioner nominees and other appointees of government, before the recess, saying that they did a perfect job and are proud to be an integral part of the 8th Assembly.

He said the House is not unaware of the hardship Deltans and indeed Nigerians are going through as a result of the removal of fuel subsidy, stressing that members feel the pains especially as the primary purpose in government is to ensure the security and welfare of the people.

The Speaker on behalf of the Legislature commended Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for his ingenuity in approving the sum of ten billion naira as palliative for constituents and pledged continued support of the legislature to the Executive arm of government in policies and programmes that will promote development and wellbeing of the people.

Guwor noted that members were expected to have taken advantage of the recess to interact with their constituents with the hope of making them share in the vision of the M.O.R.E Agenda of the state government.
