Nigeria’s former president, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, Tuesday, commissioned the Delta State High Court complex in Asaba.
He also performed the official presentation of 20 Toyota Prado Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) to judges in the state.
Speaking during the inauguration ceremony, Jonathan commended Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for his primary focus on the infrastructural development of Delta state and his commitment to continuing with projects inherited from previous administrations in the state.
He said , “There are some projects that are very fundamental to the growth and development of the state and we expect anybody who takes over government to continue with them and you are doing exactly that.
“I believe that if you go across the country today, this is one of the best judiciary headquarters in the country and I congratulate the governor and the judiciary of Delta state for this exemplary project.
“Please, continue to manage the resources of the state in that manner and use the money in a way that it will affect the people positively.”
The former president urged the people of Delta state to keep supporting the governor for the overall development of the state, adding : “there are some people who believe that they must bring a government down for the purpose of politics, but when you are struggling to bring a governor or president down for the purpose of politics, you are bringing the state or country down.”
“This is because the governor or the president is sitting with public resources and everybody must encourage him to succeed and that is the only way we, as a nation, can grow.”
