Oborevwori distributes 50 fishing boats, engines to fishermen

Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori distributed 50 fishing boats and engines to fishermen in Warri North, Warri South, and Warri South-West local government areas. The boats, equipped with 15-horsepower Yamaha outboard engines and fishing nets, were inaugurated and handed over in Koko, the headquarters of Warri North LGA. Oborevwori stated that the distribution aimed to boost fishing activities, improve incomes of riverine dwellers, and strengthen food security in affected communities.

The initiative is part of the administration's commitment to providing productive assets to people in riverine communities. Fishing is an integral part of the economic and social life of these communities, and Oborevwori emphasized that the intervention would equip fishermen with the necessary tools to fish more efficiently and increase their income.

This distribution marks the first phase of the programme, with plans to extend it to other riverine local government areas across the state.
