Governor Oshiomhole Pulls Down Ministry Of Works Sign Board And Takes "Score Card" To Local Beer Palour

GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomholeyesterday, pulled down sign boards erected along the Dawson-Ugbowo roads by the Federal Ministry of Works, citing what he described as "mischievous" attempt by the Minister of Works, Mr. Mike Onolemenmen to give the impression that the on going work along the road was a Federal Government project.

The Governor became infuriated when it was observed during an inspection of on going state government projects along Ugbowo road, that the Federal Government sign board was erected on the area where the state government is constructing additional two lanes.

Oshiomhole said: "You can see for yourself the fact that Edo State Government is doing additional two lanes on Dawson road, New Lagos road and Ugbowo road. As you see for your self the Federal Ministry of Works put sign board there to suggest that the job is being done by the Federal Government, whereas that is not true.


Meanwhile, Tigers Club Guest House located in Auchi, Estako West Local Government Area of Edo State played host to an unusual and unexpected guest. Immediately the guest strolled in, youths, women and old men trooped in to catch a glimpse of the guest that chose to patronise a local beer palour.

The guest comrade governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole walked into the guest house after inspecting road projects in the locality.

Shouts of awe rented the air immediately Oshiomhole ordered for a bottle of Gulder after taking a seat with members of the Tigers Club.

In his company were Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly, Hon Phillip Shuaibu and Commissioner for Environment and Public Utilities, Hon Clem Agba.

Oshiomhole, who had, last month, given report of his three-year stewardship, used the opportunity to tell the people his mission to the locality and what his administration has done to uplift the state.

Addressing the crowd that gathered, Oshiomhole said: "Once you are happy, I am happy. I am satisfied with what I do. You can see we are building drains on the roads. We are going to include street lights. This government will continue to work for you. These road networks are to link the communities across Auchi, Jattu, Afashio up to Afawo. I want to take advantage of the dry season to complete many of the roads.

"It is also erosion control measure which is why we are using quality drainage system. The reason why I go round to inspect projects is to remind the contractors that we are watching and monitoring the jobs. I don't just rely on reports I receive. I have to see it myself."
