Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has called for strengthened security operations across the Niger Delta to protect regional economic interests. In a meeting with Major General Everest Okoro, the newly appointed General Officer Commanding of the 6 Division of the Nigerian Army, Oborevwori emphasized that regional peace is an “economic necessity,” particularly due to the state’s role as a major oil-producing region.

The Governor stated that economic growth is directly tied to the safety of lives, businesses, and critical assets. He pledged his administration’s support for the military through infrastructure and logistics, citing previous projects such as housing construction at the Amphibious Army Barracks in Agbor and support for the 63 Brigade.
