Former Minority Leader in the Edo State House of Assembly, Hon. Eric Okaka has given a glowing assessment of Governor Monday Okpebholo’s two years in office, describing the period as one of practical governance and impressive performance.
Okaka, who is representing Owan East Constituency, said the governor hit the ground running from the day he was sworn into office, showing strong determination to take Edo State to the next level.
”Over the last two years, we have seen practical governance in action. We have witnessed impressive performance and a strong determination by the governor to take the state to the next level,” he said.
He pointed to the flyover at Ramat Park and another one currently under construction at Adesuwa Junction, Sapele Road, as well as several road construction projects across the state, as evidence of the administration’s impact.
According to him, a visit to Edo Central would reveal numerous ongoing road projects, while across the three senatorial districts, the government has performed remarkably well in the last two years.
Okaka expressed confidence that the people of Edo State would be willing to give the governor another term to consolidate on the achievements recorded so far and do even more for the state.
”The people of Edo State are ready to welcome him for another term in office, during which he will have the opportunity to perform even better. Overall, I must say that the last two years have been very productive for the people of Edo State because the government has performed creditably well,” he said.
On areas where the governor should concentrate more attention, Okaka said the governor has performed very well in education and agriculture.
He noted that the government purchased several tractors to enable farmers to access mechanised farming equipment at subsidised rates, an initiative he said is already helping farmers in the state.
He added that the government has also performed well in road construction and infrastructure development, and has made significant progress in virtually every sector.
However, Okaka said there is still room for improvement, noting that no matter how much a government does, the people will always ask for more.
”If the governor builds on what he is already doing, I believe Edo State will become another economic hub in Nigeria,” he said.
