Blessing Sheriff Agbebaku, has reaffirmed his commitment to responsible leadership and people-centered governance, describing leadership as “a sacred trust” that must be exercised with humility, dedication and an unwavering commitment to the common good.
In a statement, Agbebaku said public office holders have a responsibility that extends beyond lawmaking to inspiring hope, strengthening democratic institutions and creating opportunities for citizens to succeed.
According to the Speaker, his administration remains committed to supporting policies and legislation that will drive sustainable development and improve the quality of life of Edo people.
He listed peace and security, quality education, improved healthcare, youth empowerment and economic prosperity among the key priorities that will continue to guide the legislative agenda of the Edo State House of Assembly.
