Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo has received widespread praise from Edo indigenes in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) for his achievements in digital transformation and infrastructure within his first 100 days in office.
The commendations were made during the unveiling of Good Governance magazine in Abuja, an event designed to document the governor’s progress.
Barrister Peter Odion Abulu, Director General of the Edo State Liaison Office in Abuja, applauded the governor’s vision, emphasizing the need for continuity.
“Governor Okpebholo has demonstrated that he is prepared, not just for this term, but for the future. His achievements so far are commendable, and we encourage him to do more,” Abulu stated.
The newly launched magazine is expected to serve as a historical record of Edo’s progress, showcasing its development to a global audience.
“We produced this magazine so it can be taken anywhere, even outside Nigeria, to show what the government is doing,” Abulu added.
Prominent Edo indigenes at the event praised the governor’s infrastructure projects, particularly the construction of a flyover at Ramat Park in Benin City and major road improvements.
“We have seen remarkable improvements in roads, from Benin City to Ekpoma. As an Esan indigene, I am grateful for his work,” said Evelyn Ubehi, a leader of the Edo State Legacy Association.
The event ended with a strong call for unity among Edo indigenes and a renewed commitment to supporting the administration’s vision for transformation.
