Obaseki assigns roles to new commissioners


By Bernadette Idalu
Haven undergone a two day onboarding programme which started June 19, 2023, Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, today, Thursday, June 22, 2023, approved assigned portfolios to commissioners who were recently inaugurated as members of the Edo State Executive Council (EXCO).

The notice which takes immediate effect was made available to the public by the Secretary to the Edo State Government, Osarodion Ogie Esq.

Though most of these appointees are not new hands; with a check revealing that six of them had earlier served as commissioners in the last dissolved exco with an additional member serving in another political capacity within the Edo State Government, expectations of the masses are high based on the unfortunate but intriguing labelling of this administration as an MoU government by a now decamped former commissioner.

1.  Ministry of Communication and Orientation - Christopher Osaretin Nehikhare
2.  Ministry of Education - Dr. Joan Osa-Oviawe
3.  Ministry of Housing, Urban and Regional Planning and Development - Isoken Omo
