Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo has expressed his desire to revive Edo State Transport Company, Edo Line.
The Governor disclosed this when he, alongside his deputy, Rt. Hon. Dennis Idahosa inspected facilities at the abandoned government owned transportation line located along Mission Road in Benin City.
Governor Okpebholo who was taken on a guided tour of the premises by the Fleet Manager of Move Monkey, Jaffar Inegbedion, said he was in the place to see things for himself and get first hand information in order to revive the company for profitability.
The Godwin Obaseki-led administration had abandoned the government-owned transportation company, leaving it to rot with its fleets of vehicles.
Speaking at the premises of the company, the Governor said: “I am here to look at Edo line as this place has been abandoned for years and to see how we can revive it and put it back to use. This place is bushy and the place is completely abandoned.
“I am trying to find out if these vehicles here are the only assets of Edo Line. The few vehicles you are seeing now were more than this. I know they have more than 200 vehicles. We will look for those vehicles, get them back and use them to revive this place.”
