The Governor who inspected some failed portions of roads across the senatorial district at the weekend, revealed plans by his administration to fix the failed portions to boost economic activities and make life easier for people in the area.

The Governor and his entourage inspected the Onewa-Udomi-Ibhiolulu-Afada-Idumoza-Eko-Uwaya-Ewora roads in the zone, as well as the New Agbor and Illushin Roads in Uromi, Esan North East local government area of Edo Central.

He expressed worry that for eight years, the state suffered from bad roads and poor infrastructure during the Obaseki-led administration and assured the people that his administration, with the support of President Bola Tinubu, will fix the roads.

“Bad roads across Edo State are one of the things I inherited from former Governor Godwin Obaseki and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for eight years they were in power.

“I was with the President about a week ago, and he told us as governors to look into our bad roads and fix them. So, I am going round to implement what Mr. President requested from the Governors.

“This Illushin Road is a major road linking various parts of the country. We are here to match our words with action regarding these roads. We will start work on the road soon,” Governor Okpebholo promised.

At New Agbor Road in Uromi, the Governor, who stressed its importance to the economy of Edo State, said it links Edo with the Eastern part of Nigeria, assuring that his administration will soon fix it to revive economic activities in the area.

“This road is very important as it is a link and the gateway between the North and the Eastern part of Nigeria. The road can take us to Agbor, Asaba, Onitsha, and other Eastern parts of Nigeria.

“The road is too bad. Look at the way it is. It is not motorable. A few days ago, during a heavy downpour, flooding killed a little girl here. It is painful to us as a government.This is a critical road, and we need to fix it.

“We are here with contractors to look at the road, get first-hand information to initiate a solution to the road as we need quick intervention to make the it motorable,” he noted.

Governor Okpebholo also said the state government was already talking with the construction company to begin palliative measures immediately for the people of the State to use the road.
