Do you know that the Edo NEWMAP paid over N3.2bn as counterpart fund, which is over twice more than the nearest contributing state and over 17 percent of the total counterpart paid under NEWMAP?
No wonder Edo State emerged as the World Bank’s overall best-performing state since the inception of the NEWMAP project in 2012, defeating 22 other beneficiary states to clinch the national award.
The Edo-NEWMAP under the leadership of Governor Godwin Obaseki has built a total length of over 40kms of secondary drains. This is in addition to the over 14kms of primary stormwater culverts, drains, and over 4km of earth stormwater channels, among other projects to check to flood and improve the livelihoods of Edo people.
Governor Obaseki is serious about frontally tackling the environmental challenges in Edo State.
