A frontline All Progressives Congress (APC) aspirant for Ikpoba Okha local government council, Hon. Ikponmwosa Clement Aitusi has extolled Governor Monday Okpevbholo foresight in embarking on the one-kilometre flyover project at Ikpoba Hill in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area, noting that its completion would transform vehicular movement and strengthen the urban fabric of Benin City.

Hon. Ikponmwosa who hailed from Ikpoba Okha local government area said his local government is very fortunate to be the first beneficiary of such a project, therefore praised Okpebholo’s early performance in office, affirming that the governor had set a new standard of governance in Edo.

According to him, the governor’s bold approach to road and bridge construction in the State underscores the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) progressive agenda.

according to him , “The quality and pace of work are impressive. Edo is witnessing a first, and I believe more such projects should follow in Benin City to address the heavy traffic.

“I commend Governor Okpebholo for insisting on concrete technology. Roads built with reinforced concrete last 50 to 100 years, saving scarce resources.

The local government council aspirants therefore commended the Governor over the infrastructural strides in the state, particularly the ongoing construction of the state’s first-ever flyover bridge, describing it as a landmark intervention in easing urban traffic and modernizing Edo’s transport system.
