Remarks That Resonate

“Today was a proud moment for me as I stood in for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the official launch of the Benin-Asaba Highway.

“I want to take a moment to thank the Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi, for his kind words about our administration's achievements in Edo State.

And let's not forget the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, who assured us that the financial framework for this highway is secure, ensuring smooth execution from start to finish,” Governor Okpebholo added.

Gratitude and Growth

“I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, represented by his Deputy, Chief Monday John Onyeme, and all the dignitaries who graced this historic event. Together, we are ensuring that Edo and the entire region reap the benefits of democracy. This isn't just a highway; it's a promise of a better tomorrow.
