In a discourse with the prime minister of the aforementioned community in Delta State, Rev Lucky Ovie Whiskey, the Oguname Olomu kingdom in the Ughelli South local government area in Delta State is one of the oil beneficial community in Delta State since the Olumo kingdom is one of the oil producing land in the state. The aforesaid community is a member community in the the oil producing community in the region known as OML-30(oil producing community)but yet developmental and welfare programme is nothing to talk about in the region due to its intensive level of poverty and development meted upon the people and the region by the government.
None of the government allocations and projects has reached theses people despite the impute of the Olumo land is adding to the state and the federation. No drainages in the community, lack of health care,lack of secondary schools and poor and ramshackle primary school structure whereby during the raining season the field is water logged and no youths and women empowerment programmes for the people as well. Looking to their state of living, it beat my imagination on how they survive, yet the Okowa, Omo-Agege, Richard Kofi who is the local government chairman that is supposed to forward the needs of these people to the notice of the state government is in-active.
The only help which is not too qualified in-terms of rehabilitation on their primary school is done by an oil company known as Heritage Oil Services limited though they also provide four scholarship whereby three are for secondary school level while one is tertiary level but as the saying goes, a tree cannot make a forest. It is the civic right of these people as fellow Nigerians and Deltans to benefit from every government programme allocated in the country and the state.The community is using this medium to call on the Okowa,Omo-Agege, Francis Ejiroghene Waive and the Ughelli South local government chairman known as Richard Kofi together with the counselor Tegiri Oghoagberu to seeing to the immediate plights of their needs.
