On health care delivery, Scott, who noted that 80 per cent of primary health care in his constituency isn't functioning efficiently, promised to draw up a masterplan that will ensure free maternity care and community-based health insurance schemes are put in place at a subsidised premiums for every indigene.
His manifesto also promised to prioritise poverty eradication through provision of easy access to credit, especially for small-scale businesses that require between N50,000 to N500,000 to set up or expand.
Scott also emphasised human capital development as part of strategic growth plan for Warri youths, adding that he will partner with private sector to establish technology incubators or hubs to produce a good number of technology-literate youths.

The YPP candidate said private sector will be engaged to ensure that Warri women, including widows, have access to grants and scholarship opportunities to generate income.
The document also highlighted Scott's plans for infrastructural development, tourism, agriculture, and education which he described as the bedrock of the society.
He vowed to enforce legislations that will get children back in school, while renovation of dilapidated schools will be prioritised for conducive learning. Above all, Scott said he will push for a bill to have a higher level college in Warri.
While appealing for the support of his constituents, Scott declared that he's on a mission to restore the city of Warri back to its glory by taking it back from the disciples of doom who have only enriched their pockets to the detriment of the town and its people.
