Nigeria @66: It’s time to reset Delta, end poverty, bad governance- Iyovwaye

Delta State governorship candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Deacon Chris Iyovwaye, has called for a fundamental “reset” of the state, citing poverty, unemployment, insecurity and poor governance.

In his Independence Day address to Deltans on Thursday, Iyovwaye said the state must break free from poverty and underdevelopment, drawing a parallel between Nigeria’s 1960 independence and what he described as Delta’s need for freedom from failed leadership.

He said Delta’s vast natural resources and human capital should translate into better living conditions, jobs and economic opportunities for its people.
