• Punch Newspapers • General News
On Sunday, Edo State Governor Mondai Okpebholo inspected the second phase of a 26km road project designed to connect 15 communities in the central part of Edo State. This initiative aims to expand infrastructure and open rural communities to economic growth. According to his aide, Patrick Ebojel, the inspection included roads such as Amedokhian-Irue and Awo-Uzea in Esan North East and Esan Central. The governor explained that the project seeks to extend the benefits of the initial phase, which has already been completed. The second phase will connect to the Awo Railway Station and significantly enhance access across the region. The new road network will link nearly 15 communities, facilitating intra-transport for farmers and residents. Special adviser Phoeb William Bello noted that the project is crucial for improving rural access and economic activities, particularly for farmers in the largely undeveloped area. The contractor has already begun preliminary assessments, and the governor emphasized his administration's commitment to infrastructure development.
