An aspirant to House of Representatives for Egor/Ikpoba-Okha Federal Constituency, Felix Igbinovia, has hailed Governor Monday Okpebholo, for acquisition and distribution of 54 road construction equipment to local government councils.
Describing the move as unprecedented, Igbinovia said Okpebholo has set a benchmark in grassroots development by equipping councils with payloaders, tipping trucks, and other heavy-duty machinery to strengthen road rehabilitation efforts.
In a statement in Benin, the aspirant noted that the governor’s decision was a commitment to decentralising development and empowering councils to directly address infrastructural challenges in their communities.
His words: “The acquisition of 54 construction equipment shows the seriousness Governor Okpebholo attaches to infrastructure development. This intervention will boost road rehabilitation at the grassroots and accelerate economic activities in the state,” he said.

Igbinovia called on Edo residents to welcome Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, who is expected in the state for inauguration and distribution of the equipment to the councils.
He said the tools will stimulate growth, create jobs, and enhance commerce and trade in all 18 local governments.
“With this step, Okpebholo is not just paving roads, he is paving solutions. The impact will be visible in improved roads, faster project delivery, and measurable development in a short time,” he added.
He described the initiative as one of the most strategic infrastructure investments by any state, particularly as it directly strengthens local government capacity where development is most urgently needed.
