The governor also stated that after conducting necessary investigations and reconciliations, appropriate actions would be taken. 


Additionally, Governor Okpebholo instructed that the Ministry of Roads and Bridges be renamed to its previous title, the Ministry of Works, which had been altered during the tenure of former Governor Godwin Obaseki. He criticized the previous administration for renaming the ministry, pointing out that no bridges had been constructed during that period. 


The statement concluded, “Further reviews of actions taken by the former administration will be made, and decisions will be based on what is best for the state.”
