This initiative marks another step forward in the commitment of the Edo State Government to rural transformation and grassroots development.

This flag-off ceremony is not just the commencement of a road construction project. It is a demonstration of our promise to ensure that every part of Edo State, urban or rural is connected, empowered, and included in the progress we are building together. The Governor stated 

Let me assure you that a new Edo has risen, this is just the beginning. We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that no community in Edo State is left behind.
