The Governor noted that his administration has completed the Upper Ekenhuan axis of the road up to the Nigeria Army Cantonment in Ekenhuan.
He assured Edo people that work on the Upper Ekenhuan axis of the road at Igo community in Ovia North East Local Government will commence soon, as the contractor that will fix the road will be mobilized to the site, his administration having already awarded the contract.
“Do you remember this road? The first day we were just passing here, people came out to complain about this bad road. We have awarded this portion of the road. You will see contractors soon. We have completed the section leading here.
“We have also awarded this site and we cannot afford to fail. Edo State has keyed into Mr. President’s Renewed Hope Agenda for Edo people and Nigerians. We are here to work for the people of Edo State and in the next few days, work will commence here.
“We will continue to inspect projects to be very sure that contractors work according to specifications and also meet the timeline for completion of the projects for the betterment of Edo people,” he said.
Governor Okpebholo said his administration has embarked on serious inspection of various projects across the State, looking at the quality and specifications of the work done so far, putting contractors on their toes to ensure they deliver quality jobs for the people.
He said: “Edo State gets its allocation from FAAC, and that money under my watch will be utilized effectively and efficiently. We will embark on projects that will be beneficial to Edo people, making life better for them. We assure them that Edo money will be used to work for Edo people as my administration will never divert Edo peoples money.”
