Contractors working on the damaged sections of roads in the Benin city have been instructed by Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State to return to the site.
According to Gistcon, among Okpebholo’s five-point agenda items was the development of roads, infrastructure, and security.
Additionally, value-driven education statewide, water and food self-sufficiency, and affordable healthcare are all important issues.
Strong economic growth and better living conditions for everybody are, according to him, the goals of the agenda.
During an inspection visit of Upper Mission Extension Road in Benin City, the governor ordered contractors to return to the site. The road is located between the Aduwawa junction and the Ramat Park axis.
Restoring hope to the people of Edo was Okpebholo’s top priority, and he claimed that his administration was in sync with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
It was a campaign promise of mine to get right down to business. I had the contractors return to the site today. We must not squander this moment.
We assured the people that we would build and repair roads. Every year, there is precisely one dry season. Right now is the moment to get to work fixing the roads.
So, the residents of Edo can look forward to excellent things. He promised to repair the roads and make sure the people of his country felt the benefits of democracy.
While decrying the bad state of the roads, he assured the people that work would commence immediately, as he is in a hurry to bring the dividends of democracy to the people.
He felt that the inhabitants of Edo deserve roads that are suitable for motor vehicles.
He listed some of the areas work is expected to commence immediately to include the 7.5km Temboga Road, Lucky Way Junction by Aduwawa, and Ramat Park – Slope Axis.
The governor also assured that contractors would be mobilised to Eyaen road and Obadan junction along the Benin-Auchi Expressway.
He promised the people of Edo that his administration will prioritize their needs.
