Speaking during an appearance on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) programme One on One, Dafinone said the ongoing reforms, though challenging, are necessary to reposition the country’s economy and create a more sustainable future. He maintained that the administration’s policies are designed to address long-standing structural issues and lay the foundation for national development.
The lawmaker also responded to questions on the agitation for the creation of Ethiope State, acknowledging the concerns of stakeholders while emphasizing the need for constitutional processes, dialogue, and national unity in addressing regional aspirations.
Beyond national issues, Dafinone highlighted his commitment to community development, referencing his recent partnership with the Nigerian Television Authority to revive the dormant Amukpe Community Television Station in Sapele, Delta State. He said the initiative is aimed at improving access to information, promoting local content, and strengthening community engagement through public broadcasting.
The interview offered insight into the senator’s views on key national and regional issues, reinforcing his support for the Federal Government’s economic direction while addressing matters of local interest affecting his constituency.
