Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has stressed that investing in education plays a vital role in preventing crime.

Oborevwori added that increased funding in the sector could improve security by reducing criminal activities.

Speaking during the inspection of the ongoing construction of the Model Technical College, Omadino in Warri South Local Government Area on Thursday, Oborevwori explained that access to quality education would create better opportunities for young people, keeping them away from crime and promote a safer society.

The governor reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to improving educational infrastructure, supporting teachers, and implementing inclusive learning policies.

He said, “I have said that education is my priority, and we are using it to checkmate crime. We are doing things that will make people not be involved in criminal activities. Education is very important to us, and I will continue to encourage effective education.”

Oborevwori assured residents that his administration would continue laying the foundation for the state’s future development, saying, “I want to assure Deltans that we will continue to build on our foundation for future growth and prosperity for Delta State.”

He highlighted ongoing technical school projects across the state, adding, “There are other technical schools that are ongoing, like the one in Kiagbodo which is ongoing. The one in Bomadi, we have asked the contractor to go back to the site.”

While expressing dissatisfaction with some aspects of the project, Oborevwori expressed optimism that the contractors would make the “necessary corrections” to ensure quality delivery.
