“The equipment — including graders, excavators, rollers and other heavy-duty machines — are expected to boost road construction, rural access projects, drainage rehabilitation and other community-driven infrastructure works.
“By placing critical tools directly in the hands of local councils, the government aims to fast-track development at the grassroots and reduce bureaucratic bottlenecks.”
“The initiative is a strategic intervention designed to empower council leadership, stimulate economic activity in rural communities and deliver tangible dividends of democracy across Edo’s three senatorial districts.”
