Immediate past Commissioner, Special Duties, Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, Mr. Matthew Poko Opuoru says a lot of work needs to be done in terms of empowerment of the disadvantaged and oppressed in the quest to tackle the challenges the country is presently experiencing.
Mr. Opuoru, a Chieftain of the PDP made the assertion in Warri, Sunday September 13, 2015 while receiving one of the awards of ‘Generals of Grassroots Empowerment’, during a Book Launch/ Award Presentation organized by the Crew of Generals of Grassroots Empowerment.
According to the former Commissioner who said he is motivated to do his best, the proper way to empower people is to create the platform for them to develop themselves and not to spread money around unnecessarily.
