Obaseki’s days in office has grown Edo economy by over 140pecent from what he inherited from his predecessor and this has open the state for growth and development as investors come into the state across the 18 local government with the sole aim of increasing their investment 3. Gov. Obaseki’s intervention in our Educational Policy has drawn attention from outside and inside the country that has also portray edo in the positive direction too. 4. Gov. Obaseki’s administration is the only one bold enough to complete projects abandoned by military regimes. The list are numerous but I will drop pen here

GELEGELE DEEP RIVER PORT REMAINS A LANDMARK PROJECT


*Calls for speedy completion while offering Edo state government’s full support

Edo state governor, Gov. Godwin Obaseki in company with Ovia North East Council Chairman, Hon. Collins Ogbewe and Ovia South West counterpart, Hon. Engr Edosa today visited site of Gelegele deep water port as he express confidence on contractors to deliver project on schedule date. According to Governor Obaseki “The development of this deep river port is mission critical to the achievement of the important objective of creating Special Economic Zones.


“It is the commitment of our economic philosophy to private sector leadership of our economic development efforts.


“Be assured that the Edo State Government and the Ovia North East local government, will be with you (on this project) every step of the way to ensure that we give all the support required.”


Governor Obaseki expressed confidence on contractor handling project as he seek for timely completion as scheduled .
In is speech, Hon Collins explained that This is a landmark project for several crucial reasons and the first is that the promoters of this project are targeting about 1 million, Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) container capacity annually, which they expect to grow to about 2.7 million and 4.5 million TEUs due to his proximity to Lekki deep sea port when the project operations commences.


With this fit, Gelegele river port will become one of the largest deep water ports in our region, and serve as a hub for port operations in the whole of Southern region. There is no question at all that the project will be the sort of project that the promoters have said that it will be, and with all of the plans that they have for developing it, we expect that it will be the busiest Agro shipping port in Africa.


It is expected that the project construction, once completed, will influence the generation of up to about 10,000 direct and indirect new jobs in the Edo economy.


The Nigerian Ports Authority and Edo State Government are the public sector partners in this project. The business of government is to contribute by way of equity where necessary, to projects of this size, but more importantly to create the enabling environment for the private sector to do business.


While commending all the parties to this landmark project, I want to commend very specifically Edo State Government by Governor Godwin Nogeghase Obaseki whose zeal has continued to drive this project; he keeps talking about it all the time. In his cabinet he talks about it all the time, so I want to commend him for the way he has pushed this project.


Let me say that we must move ahead to ensure the speedy completion of this project. There will be problems as I am sure you have experienced some, but be assured that the Edo State Government and the Ovia North East local government, will be with you every step of the way to ensure that we give all the support required.


Let me, therefore, on this note, congratulate everyone involved in this project.

Cheers to a new year of progress and victory

NaughtyBrainiac:


I totally disagree with you.

I don't know why most of you people are not deep and thorough in your analysis. This is the same reason people see signals that look like red flags before marriage but they are not wise enough to spot them.

For him not to be able to speak his local language speaks volume about him. Unfortunately, many of you cannot read between the lines.

People don't pick political ambition overnight, do they? What stopped him from taking one or two years to live and interact with his people to learn the language?

You said language is not a true test of Leadership. You are wrong in this case sir/ma. Learning that language is the beginning of true Leadership and having genuine interest of the people at heart.

On a final note, who is he to be given such waiver of Language?
What special things has he achieved?

Only individuals with very formidable track record of performance maybe considered for such waiver privilege.

This speaks volume of your ignorance about the people of Edo and Edo politics. Ighodalo has been active in Edo politics from the time of Adam’s administration and his impact has attracted investors into Edo state. Esan people from Edo state has not denied his identity, so let edo people decide who governs them in peace
