Edo Governor Initiates Road Construction in Response to Deaths and Erosion Threat

Edo State Governor, Mondai Okpebholo, revealed that the tragic death of a child due to flooding and erosion was the driving force behind the decision to construct a 4.1-kilometer road in Ogheghe and old Sapele near Benin City. The initiative, as disclosed by the Chief Press Secretary, Dr.

Patrick Ebojel, was prompted by concerns raised by residents about safety issues related to erosion. The governor, during an unscheduled inspection, emphasized the importance of completing the project swiftly, especially during the dry season, to accelerate progress and ensure the road's quality.

The governor's visit aimed to assess the construction progress and ensure compliance with approved specifications.
