Oborevwori (c) and other stakeholders at the summit.
Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, on Wednesday called for collective action against terrorism, kidnapping and other forms of criminality, saying security should not be left to government and security agencies alone.
According to a statement released by the governor’s media office on Thursday, Oborevwori made the call while delivering a keynote address at the Delta State Security Summit 2026 held at the Government House, Asaba.
The summit, themed “Security: A Collective Responsibility,” brought together security chiefs, local government chairmen, traditional rulers, community leaders, civil society groups, youth and women organisations, and members of the business community.
The governor said the protection of lives and property remained fundamental to development, noting that no society could prosper in an atmosphere of fear and instability.
