At the valedictory session, the governor commended members of the State Executive Council for helping him in driving his government’s vision of making Edo great again, delivering on all promises made to the people.


He also commended the people of the state for supporting, praying and collaborating with his administration, which led to the successes and achievements recorded by his government across various sectors of the state over the last eight years.


The executives and members of cabinet, who took turns to eulogise the governor, however, acknowledged his many achievements in education, economy, agriculture, power, infrastructure, among others.


The executive members also commended the governor for the opportunity given to them to serve the people of the state in their various capacities.
