The award, presented during the association’s annual conference, recognises the organisation’s unwavering commitment to providing free diabetes screening, medical consultations, and health education to underserved populations. ACNPN described the organisation as a beacon of hope, whose interventions have continued to save lives and promote healthier living across Delta State.

She commended ACNPN for acknowledging organisations that prioritise the wellbeing of the people and reaffirmed her team’s dedication to expanding their reach.

Princess Akindele emphasised that collaboration is essential to tackling the increasing burden of diabetes and improving healthcare access at the grassroots.
 
The event attracted community leaders, health practitioners, civil society groups, and media professionals who applauded The Light Diabetes Organisation for its life-changing contributions and continued service to humanity.

Former Delta Governor, Chief James Onanefe Ibori, and immediate past Deputy Senate President, Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege are reportedly enmeshed in a Titanic battle for the control of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state. The battle, which has snowballed into a cold war, has reportedly polarized the APC into factions, with each of the two gladiators insisting that the leadership of the party belongs to each of them. Findings revealed that the state chairman of the party, Chief Omeni Sobotie, reportedly suffering from an unknown ailment, has been dragged into the tussle, with Ibori and Omo-Agege demanding loyalty from the chairman.

Delta State Government has commenced construction of access road to the proposed Asaba waterfront city in the state capital.  Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, who disclosed this during the inspection of the project on Tuesday, said the project was conceived by the previous administration through a Public Private Partnership (PPP) Model.  He said the state government’s role was to construct a 6-lane access road to the new city, while the developers were expected to reclaim the land and develop the city.  He said: "Asaba is becoming very attractive to property developers who are coming from Lagos to Asaba because Asaba today is housing most of those people from the South-East.  "They are coming here because they find Asaba very comfortable and they know that we are also hospitable.  "The Asaba waterfront city project is a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement between the state government and the developers.  "Our obligation is to reclaim the place to give ...
