Okpebholo promises continued funding for road projects in Edo
Edo State governor, Monday Okpebholo, has vowed to continue the funding of road projects across the state.
He assured contractors handling road projects in the state of sustained funding and support to ensure a significant amount of progress before the yuletide.
Okpebholo made the pledge after inspecting ongoing work on the Arue-Uromi-Agbor road projects in Esan North-East local government area of the state.
The governor disclosed in a statement released by his chief press secretary, Patrick Ebojele, that despite some challenges being faced due to the wet season, the projects were progressing.
“I can assure the citizens that this administration will continue to fund and support contractors handling road projects across the state to ensure significant progress before Christmas.
“We are here to look at what they are doing. We have gone around several project sites since morning to see how far they are going, and the work is progressing,” Okpebholo said.
“By the grace of God, we are looking at what we can achieve between now and Christmas. Because of the rainy season, nothing much can actually be done.
“The only thing they can do now is the drainage, which they are working on, and we are seeing the progress they are making across the various sites,” he added.
The governor further noted that his administration would continue to strive to ensure progress in the ongoing road constructions.
“Our aim is to make sure that we do our best to fund them. As the money comes to us, we also use the money to fund them. So, we will continue to strive to ensure that progress is made on these roads,” he said, while expressing optimism on the infrastructural benefits of the road projects.
