Meanwhile, as part of exercise to mark his one year in office, the governor commissioned three roads in Benin City.
The roads are Omorodion Street, Ogida and Okhoro roads.
Speaking before the commissioning, the gover-nor said his administration was irrevocably committed to constructing good and motorable roads that would stand the test of time. He spoke of the benefits which good and motorable roads held for the socio-economic development of the people.
He re-iterated that all roads to be constructed in the state would have the components of modern roads like lay-byes, drains and walkways, adding that the necessary designs must also be produced.
Comrade Oshiomhole re-iterated his commitment of service to the people, stressing that the joy of the people is his satisfaction.
He commended the contractors for a job well done, adding that contractors who performed well would be awarded more contracts.
