According to a report broken by Chief Ogobene, who holds multiple titles including, the Afore of Orogun kingdom, the Ukiri Igho of Ogor kingdom, the ObeneRovie of Ughelli kingdom and Ochi Urhobo of Idoma land (Benue state), “DIG Akpoyibo’s impact is evident through the implementation of numerous infrastructure projects, notably the installation of over fifteen roads with drainages in Orogun, adorned with solar street lights.”
Chief Ogobene, who is also a member of the Delta State Peace Building and Advisory Council, emphasized the transformative effect of this initiative, envisioning a picturesque stretch of illuminated streets from Igbuku to Orogun Grammar School.
“Furthermore, DIG Akpoyibo’s advocacy and intervention have facilitated the realization of over six roads with solar street lights in Ugono-Orogun axis, solar-powered water projects in key educational institutions like Orogun Primary School and Orogun Grammar School. Asphalt resurfacing of Igbuku through to Orogun’s major main road with drainages. The latest completion today is Harmony Close road, which connects to the late Prof. Peter Eke and another spur to late Okogbe Street, all in Imodje, Orogun, are among the notable projects executed in Orogun.

He drew parallels between DIG Akpoyibo’s actions and the virtues of compassion and service exemplified by Lord Jesus Christ, commending the officer’s embodiment of these principles.
Chief Ogobene further reiterated that “He is doing all these just for the love he has for his people. He is not a politician, and he is not doing all these things because he or any member of his family is going for any elective position. This, I know very well.”
