One must give credit to Governor Godwin Obaseki for his focus on delivering good governance to Edo people despite dwindling revenues from oil across the world and Nigeria.
In Edo State, the Governor has placed premium on road infrastructure as Edo State is witnessing a proliferation of road projects in the three Senatorial Districts of the State.
One of such roads that caught ikosamede.com attention is the Irhirhi-Aruogba-Obazagbon-Sapele Bypass road which is the longest single road ever constructed by any governor of Edo State and is located in parts of Oredo and Ikpoba-Okha in Edo South. The extremely long road also has Spurs to Saint Saviour in Benin City.
The road has opened up many communities, helping the decongest the Benin City metropolis.
The road is a testament that Governor Godwin Obaseki is godsent to Edo people.
A social media post by Facebook user, Akemokue Lukman contained the above testimonial including the fact that Governor Obaseki has not left any part of Edo State lagging behind in terms of infrastructural projects.
