The Deputy Governor of Edo, Mr Dennis Idahosa, has inaugurated a fleet of Sienna vehicles and motorcycles for security personnel in Ovia South West Local Government Area, aimed at strengthening the area’s security architecture.
In a statement issued on Saturday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Friday Aghedo, the deputy governor reaffirmed the commitment of the Gov. Monday Okpebholo-led administration to safeguarding the lives and property of citizens.
Idahosa commended the acting Chairman of the council, Mr Charles Edobor for his foresight at actualising the vision of the governor to safeguard his people.
He noted that the deployment of the vehicles and motorcycles to patrolling the area by security agencies would enhance the security of lives and property of the people.
The deputy governor advised him to always prioritise the interests and well-being of his people in every project he undertakes.
He applauded the council chairman’s display of grit and tenacity by making the legislative arm of the council functional and active with the provision of an operational vehicle.
“The display of hard work by Edobor shows resilience at ensuring development, peace and prosperity of Ovia people,” he said.
In a related development, the deputy governor carried out the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a block of six classrooms at Udo Primary School.
He praised the council boss for facilitating the construction of the classrooms.
He, however, called for the cooperation of the local, state, and federal governments to make life meaningful for the people.
Earlier, in his opening speech, Edobor commended the leadership of the All Progressives Congress for their support, which facilitated the execution of the projects.
