He noted that the state government is to continue providing durable public infrastructure and a maintenance culture in government in the new year, stating, “we will prioritize development of road infrastructure, public buildings and many projects in our rural areas and urban areas.”

On the state’s plan to restructure the civil and public service, he said, “We commenced work for our second term with a comprehensive exercise to strengthen the ability of civil and public servants to deliver service to the people of Edo State.

“We are strengthening the processes, functions, institutions and personnel of the public service so that institutions not personalities will drive sustainable development in Edo today and in years to come. This reform exercise has started with over 1,400 vacancies declared that would be filled with young professionals who will utilize technology to enhance better service delivery to Edo people.” 

The governor stated a lot of work has been done to make the state attractive for investors, noting, “With the 55MW CCETC-Ossiomo Independent Power Plant, which is now operational, we will intensify our efforts to bring more industries to Edo, while we will continue to attract and support more investments in agriculture across the state.”
