Edo Governor Shares Vision  For The People Of The State.

The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has assured that his administration will not share the money meant for development of the state.

He gave this assurance at the Government House, in Benin City, during the first-year anniversary of the Edo State Task Force Against Human Trafficking.

In his words, “All Edo State Government’s money would be used for the development of the state. This is the brand of politics I have chosen to play. Our developmental challenges are so enormous and only a frugal and prudent utilisation of tax payers’ money would ameliorate the sufferings of our people.”

The governor said “no matter the pressure and irrespective of the quarters such pressure would come from, I won’t break my oath with Edo people, to provide purposeful leadership.”

He assured that his administration is opening up rural areas through the provision of infrastructure to stimulate the local economy and enhance the lives of the people.

He maintained that people would not embark on illegal and life-threatening journeys to Libya if there are structures to support quality life at the grassroots.

According to him, “Taxpayers money is meant for development and it will be used to develop the state and make life better for our people. We are taking development to those in the grassroots where the need is greater. We will not share money like those we displaced from government.

He noted that his administration’s “target is for Edo State to be ranked as one of the three most developed states by the end of my tenure, in infrastructural development, education and improving the business environment especially in the rural areas, amongst other indicators of growth and development.
