Gov. obaseki reassures the state on partcipatory governance

   

     Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki, has expressed optimism that his administration would speedily bring the desired succor to the people of the state through participatory governance.

   Governor Obaseki made this known when he received the final report of the recent three-day strategic retreat with the theme: “Strategic Dialogue, Setting the Agenda for the New Administration” held between Dec 8 and 10.

Receiving the reports from the Strategic Planning Units led by former Secretary to State Government, Prof Julius Ihonvbere,                Obaseki commended the participants who had redefined the basis of governance through effective dialogue on development.

According to him, the journey started nine years ago and the results being enjoyed today are from the constant efforts.

    The governor, who expressed gladness over the consensus now already being built on, however, advised the team that there was the need to drill down on the first three key areas which he listed to include: social welfare, institutional revolution and industrialization.
