Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has commissioned a multi-million-naira 110-office administrative complex constructed by the Oshimili South Local Government Council in Asaba.
The governor warned against vandalism and other acts capable of undermining public infrastructure, saying the destruction of government property poses a serious threat to the development of the state.
Oborevwori, represented by his Deputy, Sir Monday Onyeme, spoke while commissioning the office complex and council secretariat.
Daily Trust reports that the complex would provide accommodation for federal agencies, including the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and National Orientation Agency (NOA), operating within the local government.
He said the provision of modern and functional working facilities was critical to improving staff morale, productivity and the quality of public service delivery at the grassroots.
According to him, a conducive working environment is essential to effective administration, adding that local government employees and personnel of federal agencies serving the people deserve facilities that would enable them to discharge their responsibilities efficiently.
He urged workers and other beneficiaries to take ownership of the infrastructure and protect it from vandals and other forms of abuse.
Earlier, the council chairman, Hon. Obi Kelvin Ezenyili, said the construction of the office complex was prompted by years of poor working conditions experienced by council employees, civil servants and personnel of federal agencies who previously operated from dilapidated offices.
He said the poor condition of the former offices had negatively affected staff morale, efficiency and productivity, making the construction of a modern administrative complex imperative.
