Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has announced that the state’s first flyover bridge will be completed by April 2026, four months ahead of schedule. Initially expected to take 18 months, the project timeline has been reduced to 14 months, showcasing the administration’s commitment to accelerating infrastructure development.
The Governor made the disclosure during the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign rally in Esan North-East Local Government Area, ahead of the Edo Central Senatorial by-election slated for August 16. Governor Okpebholo also highlighted progress on road projects, including the dualization of the Ekpoma-Ubiaja road, and the revival of the Ugboha Water Scheme, which has restored water distribution to Uromi and surrounding communities.
The Governor credited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for supporting the State’s development agenda, noting that his understanding of the needs of Edo people has accelerated progress in key projects in the State. With the by-election just days away, Governor Okpebholo urged constituents to back the APC candidate, Hon. Joseph Ikpea, to ensure sustained development in Edo Central.
