Orode Uduaghan, daughter of former Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, was assigned the portfolio of Commissioner, Girl - Child Entrepreneurship and Humanitarian Support Services, with President of Itsekiri National Youths Council, INYC, Comrade Weyinmi Isaac Agbateyiniro, taking the responsibility of overseeing youth development in the state.                    

Dr. Isaac Tosan Wilkie

President of NAIG, Comrade Ben Eburajolo in a statement issued in Warri, Delta State, Wednesday August 23 on behalf of the apex Itsekiri graduates' body, asserted that the names; Orode,  which means blessing/ prosperity have come, Samuel, meaning God has heard and Isaac; one who laughs or rejoices, represent better days and years ahead for Delta state and Itsekiri Nation in particular.              

Comrade Weyinmi Isaac Agbateyiniro

Eburajolo, posited that Hon. Oligida, will breathe life into the Delta State Ministry of Trade and Investments and Dr. Isaac Wilkie, will positively change the dynamics in the State Ministry of Water Resources.                                

" Anyone, who has closely followed Orode Uduaghan, would agree that she is the perfect fit for the position of Hon. Commissioner, Girl - Child Entrepreneurship and Humanitarian Support Services. The competence and eloquence of Comrade Weyinmi Isaac Agbateyiniro as Itsekiri youth leader, particularly  his relationship with other ethnic youth leaders across the country, attest to the fact that His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwrori, Executive Governor of the state, made the right pick," Eburajolo, opined.
