Governor Monday Okpebholo has scrapped the State Ministry of Roads and Bridges, which was conceptualized by his Predecessor, Godwin Obaseki, reversing to the State Ministry of Works.
Governor Okpebholo said on Thursday, directed relevant government agencies to implement the new order and immediately reflect the new name.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Fred Itua, lamented that since no bridges or good roads were constructed by the administration of Obaseki, it is therefore absurd to maintain such a name.
“It is funny how you can call a Government institution Ministry of Roads and Bridges. Ironically, no single bridge was built by the same administration. Not even a pedestrian bridge.
“In the coming days, we will look at more actions taken by the previous administration and more decisions will be taken that will be done in the best interest of the State”, according to the statement.
