Edo state
Governor, Godwin Obaseki, says the state has been neglected and deprived of
developmental projects courtesy of corruption in the country.
Speaking
during a town hall meeting of oil producing communities with Acting president
Yemi Osinbajo during his fact-finding visit to the state, the Governor welcomed
the bold and progressive move of the acting president by embarking on his peace
tour to Niger Delta communities and requested him to visit the state again to
enable him visit the oil communities for better understanding of the people’s
anguish.
He also
revealed moves being made by his administration to curb deprivation and
militancy in the state.
