I’ll implement financial autonomy for legislature, judiciary – Okowa

Delta state Governor, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, yesterday said the bill on the financial autonomy of the Houses of Assembly and judiciary accented to by President Muhammadu Buhari was made possible by the collective efforts from relevant stakeholders.
The governor made the clarifications in Asaba while swearing in Mr.
Tony Obuh, who was a PDP governorship aspirant in 2015, and Comrade Lawson Efenudu as Chairman and Secretary of Delta state Pension Bureau, respectively.
“I want to place on record that the constitutional amendments involved the National Assembly, the Houses of Assembly and eventually the final bill is assented to by the President,” he said.
He congratulated Obuh and Comrade Efenudu on their appointments, noting that as experienced technocrats and labour leaders, they should carry out their functions accountably and in transparent manner to enable them win the confidence of labour Unions.
“I believe that the Nigerian workers, especially those in Delta State have been very cooperative with this government, we have developed a partnership which enables all of us to work together because there is no government that can do well without the workforce and the workers have taken us thus far in the course of this administration.” Responding on behalf of Efenudu, Obuh commended Governor Okowa for deeming them fit to serve the state as Chairman and Secretary of the Bureau of Pensions, assuring that they would do their best, with the cooperation of all Deltans, to ensure that pensioners got their entitlements as when due.
