_...urges Edo governor to revisit programmes, policies unreasonably dismantled by his administration_
_...demands release of names of 68 schools reportedly built by Okpebholo_
By Gidigba Group
We commend, most profoundly, Edo governor Monday Okpebholo, for recently directing the relocation of the Ministry of Education and its adjoints—Boards, Parastals, to the Edo Education Hub—a breathtaking facility conceptualized, built and commissioned by former governor Godwin Obaseki, to synergize all education-related agencies in Edo.
Even though this facility has been abandoned by Okpebholo, perhaps for misplaced primitive political reasons, it is delightful to see him now putting Obaseki's world class Hub to use.
While this marks a radical and strange deviation in Okpebholo's government, considering his initial dismantling of Obaseki's legacies, we believe that the governor may have taken a productive U-turn, to visit Obaseki's project sites, examine them, build on them and run on quality governance, rather than primitive politicking.
We hope Okpebholo will sustain this new spirit—particularly as Edo has become a comedy theatre and embarrassment hub under him, where governance is largely considered to have gone on capital flight and replaced with unsolicited, high-wired sycophancy.
For Edo's progress, we advise Okpebholo to reconsider some of those facilities, ideas and policies he had unreasonably abandoned, for no cogent reason(s).
Governance is a continuum—productive policies and programmes flowing from past administrations must be seen to be sustained, developed, promoted, defended, protected and advanced by successive administrations, making Okpebholo's directive for the relocation of the Education Ministry and its adjoints to Obaseki's iconic Education Hub on Iyaro, Benin City, a stitch in time saving nine.
Meanwhile, we await in earnest, the release of the sixty eight (68) schools the Okpebholo-led administration claims to have built since November 2024, this is very important to further commend the administration and put it in proper light, particularly as against consistent queries being served the administration by the opposition and of course, concerned Edos at home and abroad.
We also commend Okpebholo for reintegrating teachers former governor Obaseki employed, and terminated initially by Okpebholo—we hope sincerely, that Okpebholo will maintain this spirit, focusing squarely on quality governance and eschew archaic, primitive politics that does no one no good.
Weldone, Brother Monday.
