Edo Governor Commended for Transparent Handling of Presco Land Revocation Controversy

Edo State Governor Mondai Okpebholo received praise for his transparent handling of the Presco land revocation issue, with the government disowning the controversial move. The Coalition for Good Governance and Economic Justice in Africa lauded Okpebholo for swiftly distancing the administration from the unauthorized revocation notice, emphasizing the importance of economic stability and investor confidence.

The government clarified that the former Managing Director of Edo State Geographical Information Services, Edogi, acted without approval, violating established procedures. This incident triggered panic among investors, but the governor's quick clarification helped restore calm and protect livelihoods.
