Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo on Tuesday unveiled a five-point agenda for the development of the state after he was sworn in as the 5th civilian governor of the state.
Okpebholo, in his inaugural speech, pledged to prioritise security, infrastructure, healthcare, food sufficiency, and education.
Monday Okpebholo also promised not to betray the confidence the people reposed in him by electing him as the governor of the state.
He assured that the welfare of the citizens is the top priority of his administration’s ‘Five-point Agenda’.
He said the five-point agenda is designed for robust economic growth and improvement in the lives of the people.
Okpebholo, the immediate past senator representing Edo Central, was on September 21, 2024 elected as the governor of the state.
The new governor, a candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, defeated 16 governorship candidates of political parties that participated in the election, including his closet rival Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Okpebholo was sworn-in along with his deputy, Dennis Idahosa, the immediate past lawmaker representing Ovia Federal Constituency in the National Assembly.
