BENIN CITY — The Deputy Governor of Edo State, Rt. Hon. Dennis Idahosa, has assured citizens that the administration of Governor Monday Okpebholo is fully committed to exceeding public expectations through impactful governance, transparency, and sustainable development across all sectors.

“We are not just here to meet expectations; we are here to exceed them,” Idahosa declared. “Edo people have placed their trust in this administration, and we will justify that trust with visible results that touch every part of the state.”

Driving a People-Oriented Agenda

Commitment to Infrastructure and Youth Development

Idahosa emphasized that the state government’s massive investment in infrastructure is already yielding positive results, particularly in road rehabilitation, housing, and market modernization.

He also noted that youth empowerment remains a major pillar of the administration’s agenda, with new initiatives in digital skills training, entrepreneurship support, and job creation.

“We are building a future where young Edo people will no longer have to leave home in search of opportunities,” he said. “Our goal is to make Edo a place where potential meets opportunity.”

Rebuilding Trust in Governance

The Deputy Governor commended Edo citizens for their patience and support, assuring them that the government remains open to constructive feedback.

“We welcome dialogue and accountability,” he said. “The people deserve a government that listens and acts — and that’s what we’re delivering.”

Observers say Idahosa’s remarks reflect a renewed sense of direction in the Okpebholo administration, with a focus on tangible impact rather than political rhetoric.

A Renewed Promise
