A month after dissolving the State Executive Council, Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has sworn-in 15 new commissioners with a charge for them to sustain government’s effort at improving the livelihood of the people and ensuring economic prosperity for the state.
At the swearing-in ceremony conducted at the Government House, in Benin City, on Tuesday, the governor urged the new appointees to do everything to actualize the vision of transforming the state into an economic hub.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media Project, Crusoe Osagie, Obaseki said:
“We have had an excellent team since we started our administration six years ago. The team has helped us actualise our vision of transforming Edo State. Any transformation is a work in progress and doesn’t end.
