Critical Infrastructure and Energy

Governor Obaseki with his #MEGA manifesto, is determined to do a lot and improve the State of Edo once he emerges as the winner of the forthcoming election. One item on his #MEGA manifesto is to develop the critical infrastructure and energy in Edo State.

Consequently, during his current administration, he pioneered the creation and improvement of infrastructures in the state, therefore, it is expected that he will do more if he gets elected as the next governor.

Below are some of his achievements in the Infrastructure and Energy Sector:

• Completion of more than 800 roads which stretch for about 2000km, with at least a road project in each of the 192 wards in the state. The Ministry of Infrastructure has constructed about 400 roads, while the Edo State Employment and Expenditure for Result (SEEFOR) PLUS and other partners have constructed 400 roads.

• Development of extensive broadband infrastructure into the road infrastructure and transportation network to build a more virile and mobile business and learning environment. Tech folks, get in here! Edo is open for business!!

• With the support of the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP), there is an ongoing flood control and gulley erosion projects management across the State, including Ekehuan, Auchi, Ibore, Upper Adesuwa, GRA, among others.

• The Edo State Traffic Management Agency (EDSTMA) has been revamped.

• The Edo Fertilizer and Chemical Company Limited in Auchi was revamped in partnership with WACOT Plc and is now functional.

• The first phase of the 55MWCCTEC-Ossiomo electricity project has been completed.

• The Edo Production Centre, along Sapele Road, Benin City, is in operation and remains one of the success stories in liberating small and medium enterprising in the state.

Looking at all these achievements and the ones Governor Obaseki is set to do, voting him as the governor during the forthcoming election is the best you can do.

If this ain't the man, who is?

Aside his achievements which are critical to him getting reelected, GGO has summarily ended 'godfatherism' in Edo land.

All those still under the clutches of godfatherism should take a cue from this.

Edo is doing exceedingly well under Gov Obaseki. Kudos to my action governor. Come election day, we will repay your kindness. God has your back sir. Carry go!

Oshiomohle's Ibadan reporters will soon come and dispute you. They will say it's a lie. I've observed that most people who try to tarnish the image of this man Obaseki are not even Edo people, yet they act like they know more than those who are on ground. The real Edo people don't joke with this man (from my observation).

Where is Lalasticlala?

I've said it and nothing will change it. Oshiomohle and his evil cohorts will fail woefully. We pin here dey wait them.

Obaseki is the technocrat Edo people need; his campaigns have been issue-based from the get go and sees the opposition's 'character assassination'-Like campaigns as distractions.

Infrastructure
Investments and ease of doing business
