Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has approved automatic promotion for 33 outstanding officials of the Edo State Traffic Management Agency (EDSTMA), who have shown commitment, dedication and diligence in discharging their duties.

Obaseki gave the approval while rewarding the 33 selected outstanding EDSTMA officials, who he said have given their best to ease vehicular and human movements in the state.

The governor, who was visibly elated over their elevation, said his administration and the people of the state were proudly delighted at the new EDSTMA and its officials.

According to him, “You have won the hearts of the people through the new approach to traffic management, and despite various provocations you receive daily from motorists and pedestrians, you have remained resolute and displayed unquestionable character. Many of you have displayed diligence while discharging your duties.”

He noted further that the process was transparent as both the management and the people of Edo State recommended the officials through various reports which were followed and investigated.

Obaseki said: “From my observation, almost all of you are good officials except a very few who choose to do otherwise, but actions are always taken when complaints come.

“As a government, we are going to recruit additional 250 EDSTMA officials before the end of the year to further ease some of the challenges faced by the agency.

“Today, we are rewarding those of you who have been outstanding in your duties. I have been advised that all of you should be promoted to the next rank and step, to motivate you and stimulate productivity in your field. I say thank you for making us proud as you are one of our success stories as we celebrate two years in office. Each of you will get N250, 000 and hopefully, this would motivate you to put in your best.”

The governor explained that he has received report and proposal to install traffic lights across the Benin metropolis as well as Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras to curb violation of traffic, adding: I wonder why some people would disobey traffic lights (signs) when as a governor, I obey it.”

Earlier, the managing director of the agency, Dennis Oloriegbe, thanked the governor for the opportunity given to them to serve the people of the state, and explained that through the commendation of the public and media, the 33 officials were selected for the reward.

Responding on behalf of the awardees, Osagie Emokpae, thanked EDSTMA management and the state governor for the opportunities given to them to contribute their quota to the state’s development through traffic management, and pledged further commitment and dedication to their duties.

“This is a motivating factor for us and we promise to continue to do our best to serve the state,” he added.

This is a good motivating factor by the Govenor, but he should make sure he rewards other sectors too.

Good one. Kudos to the governor.

Wonderful govt

In functional societies, the institutions are strengthened such that there is a reward system in place to encourage meritorious service as well as a strict, dispassionate and effective punitive system to discourage corruption, negligence and indolence.
Nice one, Obaseki.

I can only advise anyone favoured by politicians during election year. They should seize the opportunity but vote their consciences.

Congratulations to them

There is greater tendency to excel when u do ur work with passion. Most people don't have passion for what they do, they do it to earn a living... That's all.

I remember my DAD(may Allah grant him paradise) wants me to read medicine when all I am good at is mathematics and other subjects that has to do with calculation , I didn't even argue with him, I choose engineering,pass jamb, gained admission and when he knew, it was too late. Even with all the challenges I had in the university, I passed bcoz I have passion for the course.

Nothing but a scam..........MmM

Wake and see governor according to Edo people

Nice one, promotion a tool for reward and a call to rededication of duty.

Nices 1 Go On
