The Governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo on Wednesday evening arrived in Benin City after a two-week official visit to the United Kingdom, where he participated in an investment summit.
Earlier in his speech at the Edo State Global Investment Summit 2025 in Glasgow, Scotland., Senator Monda Okpebholo reiterated his administration resolved to take Edo State to higher heights.
“At the Edo State Global Investment Summit in Glasgow, I shared my vision for a new Edo, a state built on innovation, transparency, and practical governance.
“Edo has always been a land of heritage and innovation. From our ancient bronze works to the creativity of our youth, resilience runs through our DNA. That is why Edo is open for business. We are not asking for charity; we are offering true partnerships”.
“In just 8 months, we have renovated 68 schools, begun the 36km Gelegele road for our future seaport, and launched projects that touch health, infrastructure, and livelihoods. Because the future of Edo State is not something we wait for, it is something we create”.
“This is my duty: not to sit in the office, but to move around, listen, and get the work done. Together, we are building an Edo where every naira counts, every person matters, and every promise becomes progress”.
The Benin Airport was a hive of activities as various socio-political groups gathered to give the Governor and his entourage a warm reception.
