Nurses Across the Borders congratulate Oborevwori, hopes to sustain relationship with Delta State on Climate Change

Nurses Across the Borders, a humanitarian initiative both in Nigeria and the United States of America has congratulated the Governor-elect of Delta State, Rt. Honourable Sheriff Francis Oborevwori.

In a press statement released to the media on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, the Initiative under the leadership of Pastor Peters Omoragbon, called the victory of Oborevwori a hard earned and merited victory.

Omoragbon who is also a Permanent Representative to the United Nations, averred that the contributions and experience of the governor-elect as a two-term Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly stood him out as a tested and proven administrator and leader. He said “Your antecedents as a two-time Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly under the leadership of another erudite and progressive Governor of Delta State-Senator (Dr) Ifeanyi Okowa stood you out as a tested and proven administrator and leader to be guaranteed the victory you got on March 18, 2023 after a keenly contested election.”

Omoragbon who is the President, Diaspora Nurses Association of Nigeria & Director International Liaison, Nigerian Nurses Charitable Association, UK, said the association is happy to relate with Delta State on Climate Change and hoped to sustain it. “We are happy to be associated with the government of Delta State, especially in the areas of sustainable development as it relate to the climate change campaign demonstrated with our joint activities at the UNFCCC COP 27, at El Sheikh, Egypt  November, 2022 and hoped it will be sustained and maintained.”

He added that the Delta State by virtue of its costal positioning will benefit from a robust Partnership with Nurses Across the Borders on climate change and public health in the UNFCCC negotiating processes and activities and can independently initiate and execute programs and projects that will advance the capacity of its workforce and improve upon the efficient delivery of healthcare services to the state in mitigating and adapting to climate change.

“The opportunities for these are so vast and NAB is strategically positioned to provide the needed leverage with its technical expertise, networking and collaborations globally,” Omoragbon stated.
