The University of Benin Alumni Association (UBAA) has hailed Osayande’s landmark development in Ikpoba-Okha Local Government
The association gave thumbs-up and expressed satisfaction at Osayande’s various reforms in Ikpoba-Okha, acknowledging that the Council Boss has given Local Government administration a new face
The Association made the assertion during a courtesy call on the Local Government helmsman at his Idogbo office, Benin City, the Edo State capital on Tuesday
Speaking during the call, leader of the team and Chairman, University of Benin Alumni Association, Dr. Benson Esan scored Osayande high for cleaning the augean stables in Ikpoba-Okha
“It is interesting to note that members and Executive Committee of our association have taken keen interest in how you manage Ikpoba-Okha; the reason is not far-fetched as you are still seen as one of us and ultimately as an ambassador of UNIBEN” Esan said
Speaking further, the UBAA Chairman expressed confidence in the Osayande-led administration, saying “I must tell you that we are extremely pleased with the manner you have managed the affairs of the Local Government”
The association’s Chairman applauded Osayande’s education reforms saying “we see renovated schools with furniture all over the Local Government; also, we are well abreast with other infrastructural development taking place in your domain”
Dr. Esan highlighted some of Osayande’s legacies to include but not limited to revamp of health centers; construction of boreholes; markets, rehabilitation of earth roads and human capital development; “we are very proud to associate with you” he concluded
Responding, Dr. Eric Osayande appreciated the association for honouring him with a visit
Reassuring the group that the business of good-governance is not the exclusive preserve of any one; , Osayande noted, “I am extremely grateful for this opportunity and I do not intend to take it for granted”
“I am quite aware that I am representing the academic sector in governance, I understand the need to prove to people that we in academics do not only know the theory but can also show practicals”
Osayande has assured the association of his total commitment to the overall success of the group
Highpoint of the visit was the decoration of the Council Boss by the group
Dr. Eric Osayande bagged his first and second degrees from the University of Benin after which he joined the services of the institution as a graduate assistant and rose through the ranks to the position of senior lecturer; his political practice has seen him occupy key roles including APC Chairman, Ikpoba-Okha and now Executive Chairman of Ikpoba-Okha Local Government
