EDO SOUTH AND THE CHALLENGE OF THE CENTURY.

During the governorship elections in Edo State I was opportune to tour the 192 wards with Chief Solomon Iyobosa Edebiri campaign organisation. The developmental challenge of Edo South is mind bugging. The poor state of infrastructure and the way our people still leave in Edo South is very primitive ancient.

The challenges posed by the lack of development can be attacked head on by the traditional, religious, political and academic leadership of Edo South. For example if you take a look at Edo South apart from Benin City, we do not have any other economic centres. We can start right now by setting up machineries to bring places like  Ehor, Iguobazuwa, Okada, Ugbogwi, Siluko, Udo, Ologbo, Evbueghae, Evbuesi, Uronigbe, Ugo, Umokhun-Nokua and Ekiadolo.

Please share your idea on how will can make these towns economic centres. How can we encourage urban rural drift. Your ideas must be practical and put into considerations our political and economic reality.

Yesterday the 27th July 2012 was my birthday. I visited orphanages and spent quality time with my aged mother. I want to appreciate members of this forum for their overwhelming support, phone calls, text messages, e-card and tweets. For celebrating with me, our God will enlarge your coast.
