In a continued effort to uplift men and women in vulnerable communities, the Delta State Government’s initiative, Connecting With Vulnerable Deltans Through Traditional and Modern Media Channels, is expanding its scope to broaden its impact.
This development was disclosed by the Director-General of the initiative, Amb Ese Joshua Emadifie (Chief Sir Dante), who also serves as the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Delta State on Media. During a recent strategic meeting with the Honourable Commissioner for Science and Technology, Hon Odinigwe Odigie Daniel, the framework for future collaboration was formalised.
Accompanied by Dennis Otu, Senior Special Assistant on New Media and Eng. Joshua Obore, Founder and CEO of Obrets Services, Amb Emadifie outlined plans to integrate science and technology into the ongoing sensitisation tour. This tour, a key component of the Governor’s MORE AGENDA, seeks to deliver essential information and services to Deltans, particularly those in underserved areas.
The initiative aims to foster inclusiveness and instil hope by ensuring that vulnerable communities are not left behind in the state’s developmental progress. By utilising traditional media channels, the team seeks to combat misinformation and political misrepresentation while highlighting the Governor’s efforts to advance the state.
Hon Odinigwe Odigie Daniel, during the meeting, pledged his ministry’s full support for the initiative. He underscored the importance of reaching Deltans who may not have reliable access to the internet, and reiterated the government’s commitment to ensuring that technology reaches the grassroots as part of the MORE AGENDA’s vision of Meaningful Development and Opportunities for All.
This partnership is expected to have a transformative impact, empowering vulnerable communities with access to science and technology and giving them a greater sense of inclusion and ownership in Delta State’s future progress.
