Obaseki Plans New Airport In Edo North by Aisosa25(op): 6:03pm On Jun 07, 2021
Obaseki plans new airport in Edo North

The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki is in talks with investors, development partners and other stakeholders on the construction of an airport in Edo North Senatorial District to open up the area and rev up economic activities in the state.

Obaseki, who disclosed this during an enlarged meeting of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members across wards and local government areas in the district, said the government is working assiduously to improve the state’s transportation network.

The governor said: “There are some key projects that we want to implement in Edo North. There are major investors talking to us now and want to come into the state. We have huge opportunities in the areas of agriculture, mining and transportation.
"One of the major things that I want to do is to build an airport. Access is key, and if people can fly in directly, it will improve the economy of the state.”

He continued: "We have been working on improving the transportation network in Edo State; we have done some studies and found out that an Airport in Edo North is feasible, particularly given the level of investment that we are making in that direction.

“Don't forget that there are two cement plants in the state, major universities and several other economic opportunities that are involved, and to get people there, we need an airport to make access easy. We are in discussion with the relevant authorities already.”

On his part, a party chieftain and former deputy governor of the state, Chief Mike Oghiadomhe, commended the developmental strides of the governor, pledging the support, commitment and loyalty of party faithful from Edo North Senatorial District to his administration

Tribalist it's always about Edo north and south

Edo central conceded the ticket of pdp to you allowed you use your deputy

Gave you higher percent than Edo north in the election

Your first reward was to unseat the Edo central man who helped your move to pdp

Elect Edo South again as SSG and cheif of staff

By pass Edo central man for vice Chancellor AAU for an Edo South man in far Uniben

We warned you people yet you guys never listened. You had the the chance to unseat him for an edo central man you guys didn't. I'm yet to see one single edo central man that voted for edo central candidate. You guys overwhelmingly voted for him so that edo central man will take over him. Loooool. Imagine that... Enjoy the betrayer. Enjoy.....
