"You served DESTMA with distinction, and your sterling performance has spoken for you. This well-deserved appointment is a testament to your dedication, competence, and capacity for service. I am confident you will continue to excel and attain even greater heights in your career," the Director-General said.

In her remarks, Mrs. Janet Ejiro Johnson congratulated Dr. Okiemute on the remarkable transformation recorded by DESTMA under his leadership.

She described the developmental strides and institutional reforms at DESTMA as clear evidence of visionary leadership and a practical demonstration of the MORE Agenda of Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Elder Sheriff Oborevwori.

Mrs. Johnson also expressed appreciation for the warm reception accorded her and prayed for God's continued wisdom, strength, and guidance for the Director-General as he continues to lead the Authority and serve the state.

The courtesy visit ended with both parties reaffirming their commitment to supporting the vision of the Delta State Government in promoting effective, people-centred governance through dedicated public service.

: "Insecurity Is Basically a Product of Poverty" — Rotimi Amaechi's 2013 BBC HARDtalk Interview Resurfaces

"Insecurity is basically a product of poverty, and what the government needs to do, including my government at the state level, is to address poverty.

To address poverty, you have to focus on education. You have to focus on industrialization, and industrialization can only thrive when there is reliable power.

When you address education, power, and healthcare, you create a population that is employable. And once people are employed, the problem of insecurity will be greatly reduced."

— Rotimi Amaechi, speaking during a HARDtalk interview on July 25, 2013, while serving as Governor of Rivers State.
