The Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, has set up an eight-man organizing committee towards the celebration of the state’s 25th anniversary.
The Delta State Press Unit said in a statement on Sunday that Okowa announced the inauguration of the state’s silver jubilee planning committee at a recent press conference held in Asaba, the state capital.
The governor, according to the statement, advised the committee to organize a celebration that would harness the unity and peace that bound the various ethnic groups in the state together.
