The Speaker of the Edo state House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Blessing Agbebaku who made this his known when he led Edo Assembly ad-hoc committee on Project Inspection of projects being executed by Governor Okpebholo.

Speaker Agbebaku constituted the Committee to inspect Okpebholo’s projects to ascertain if funds appropriated by the House were being used judiciously and that the projects were up to the required specifications.

Speaking after the inspection, Speaker Agbebaku commended Governor Okpebholo for renovating the school to international standards.

Agbebaku said the House would collaborate with Governor Okpebholo for the state to wear a positive look.

According to him, “I was here three years ago. What I am seeing here now is different from what was on the ground. You can see the perimeter fencing, the football pitch. The resources they are putting here are worth it because this school is located in a flood-prone area.

“There is a need for more security to prevent the activities of vandals. In this kind of environment, where huge sums of money have been spent, there is a need for adequate security.

“I saw the laboratory. It was perfect. I urge Mr. Governor to extend the gesture to other schools. By this, I know the money we are appropriating for Mr. Governor is being spent judiciously. We are going to collaborate with him as a House to make sure Edo is wearing a positive look.”

At the Ramat Park, the Speaker described the project as wonderful. He said Edo taxpayers are happy.

His words, “We want to make sure that the job that is done here is done properly. We want to make sure that Edo taxpayers’ money is used properly. That is why we are here today. We are impressed with the quality of work. We have told the contractor that the Edo people are hungry to use the bridge. They should hurry up.”
