Edo State Govt To Evacuate Lunatics And Destitute In Benin City!

Edo State government is set to evacuate lunatics and the destitute constituting nuisance and defacing the state capital, thereby rubbishing the beautification programme of the government.

Besides, the government said it was committed to good governance and quality infrastructural development to meet the basic socio-economic needs of the people.

The Secretary to the State Government, Dr Simon Imuekemhe, who made this known on Thursday at the Government House, Benin City, when a group, Edo Youth for Good Governance, paid him a courtesy visit said "Governor Adams Oshiomhole's unwavering commitment through immense innovations across the critical sectors of the society had been yielding results, especially in areas of human capacity building and infrastructural development of Edo State."

He said the government had secured a very comfortable loan, with the state government's counterpart involvement worth N500 million, so that an industrial layout could be provided for those in the furniture industry.
