Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has assured the people of his administration’s determination to make Edo the cleanest state in Nigeria.
Obaseki made this known while delivering his keynote address in a 2-day workshop on environment themed: ‘Enhancing Environmental Governance for sustainable Development.’
The governor maintained that the aim of the workshop was to bring experts together to brainstorm on how to sustain and manage the environment prudently to increase living standards of the people in the state.
Meanwhile, former governor of Cross River state, Donald Duke, who chaired the workshop, mentioned that if the environment was clean, investors would be attracted to the state and there would be access to portable water and job opportunities among others.
He also thanked the governor for the laudable initiative, adding that there was need to sensitise the people and educate them on the state government’s strategic plan to sustain and manage the environment.
