Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo has appointed Dr. Ojiezele Alimhianga Augustine as Director General of the Edo State Roads Fund Board (EDSRFB), with immediate effect.
The appointment was announced on Monday, October 5th, 2026, in a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Umar Musa Ikhilor. The state government said the governor approved it and described Ojiezele as a financial management professional with more than three decades in the Nigerian public service.
According to the statement, he has held senior accounting and administrative roles, which it says gave him extensive experience in public sector financial management and administration. The government said that experience would be invaluable in carrying out the board’s mandate and meeting its objectives.
The board comes out of legislation passed by the Edo State House of Assembly in February 2025. The bill sought to establish a State Roads Fund and a board to finance the planning, development, rehabilitation, construction and maintenance of Class C and Class D roads, as well as the rehabilitation of Class B roads.
