 Please I challenge you to visit those sites and take a picture of those locations the OP is claiming! Or better still use google earth to check. Those claims are false! Those pictures are not the true pictures of those locations. Let the OP swear with his life on this. Are we not truly the enemies of ourselves and the ones distorting facts? That post by the OP is PROPAGANDA!!! And he should be ashamed of himself! Ordinary Ebonyi that isn't an oil producing state has more infrastructure than Edo despite the solid minerals, Gas, Oil wells and Oil palm that Edo has. Please list the names of the 1500 schools, their locations with pictures. Abi no be the same Edo state wey I school for over 12 years? All these MOU mentioned by Obaseki, where exactly did Edo funds go? Ebonyi didn't do MOU's they delivered projects and paid for them and yet have the least indebtedness. Esejojo:
The OP stated locations where these projects are located.
CCETC-Ossiomo Power Plant
CCETC-Ossiomo Power Plant is located at Ologbo community in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area (LGA), Edo State.
The Edo State Fertilizer and Chemical Company Limited (ESFCCL)
ESFCCL plant is located in Auchi, Edo State.
Benin Industrial Park
The Sapele Road Axis of Benin City,
Edo Modular and Refinery Company Limited
The refinery located at Ologbo in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area (LGA).
Gelegele Port
Gelegele Town in OviaLocal Government Area
As for the images, it is a design plan/sketch of the Industrial Park that is currently being constructed. Companies are setting up show there currently. It is tied to the CCETC-Ossiomo Power Plant that was recently test-ran. As soon as the place is connected to the power plant, industrial activities will commence in full.
As for the schools, are you saying Edo State does not have 1,500 public primary and junior secondary schools in the State? |

Let us summarise the key achievements directly linked to the governor:
(1) Edo Best: An initiative to transform the educational sector in Edo State. Obaseki purchased and delivered tablets and smartphones to teachers to load their lesson plans. Social mobilizers were also trained to inform people on the need to protect shared facilities in their domains.
Verdict: This is an achievement in the 21st century by a sitting governor? What is the job of the ministry of information and social orientation?
(2) Revolutionary Revenue Collection From Transporters: Obaseki scrapped the private collection of levies on road users and introduce the use of scratch cards which led to to a 1011% of previously remitted levies.
Verdict: This is not an achievement. Plugging loopholes is a must for efficient running of systems
(3) 55MW CCTEC Ossiomo Power Plant: Basically, the Chinese build and operate the power plant and Obaseki simply purchases the power (electricity) from them.
Verdict: Paying for electricity is not an achievement
(4) Edo GIS: This scheme computerises ownership of lands by issuing a digital certificate of occupancy. The argument is that since the process of acquiring land has been digitized, investors would be attracted once they discover that the cost of acquiring land is cheap and corruption-free.
Verdict: I am as surprised as you
(5) The Edo Fertilizer and Chemical Company: Obaseki attempts to revitalize a moribund fertilizer plant which is expected to produce enough fertilizers to be sold to neighbouring state.
Verdict: Is it NOW operational? How many Edolites have been employed?
(6) Edo Modular and Refinery Company Limited: This is a refinery to be operated by the Chinese. The benefit in the MOU signed by the governor is that Edolites would be trained in welding, refinery operations a,d fabrication works.
Verdict: How many Edolites have been employed in the development of the modular refinery?
(7) Gelegele Port: This seaport would be built and operated by the Chinese to export goods to be produced in the Benin Industrial park and serve as an agro-processing zone.
Verdict: We have a port in Warri (which is not far from Edo State and in Port Harcourt and in Calabar; wouldn't it have been more sensible to build a rail linking Edo to these places to serve the local needs before exporting? Is it wise that critical infrastructure are allowed to be operated by foreigners (the Chinese in this case) who are ruthless businessmen? I personally think this is a white elephant project
(8.) Benin Industrial Park: This is basically still in development by the Chinese. There was no mention that actual work has been done beyond signing MOUs and securing project partners.
Overall verdict:Governor Obaseki failed. It is largely not his fault, it is because he failed in what many other governors fail in: they never plan. A case in point is Prof. Ben Ayade with his moronic Calas Vegas idea. Obaseki promised 200,000 jobs, he failed to fulfil it. I would have preferred if Obaseki had used his first year to complete Oshiomole's legacy projects and planned his own legacy projects instead of signing MOUs. There is so much to do that we don't even need the Chinese. A basic one, Edo State produces maize, cashew, yam, cassava and the best bottled groundnut I ever tasted in my life; setting up an agricultural processing plant would have revamped the state and employed many. Maize flour, yam flour, gari and cashew are exports that would earn Edo clean revenue. How about the minerals scattered all over Edo State? We need to avoid these quick-wins projects and do long-lasting projects. Let people see you working and you won't need to come to Nairaland to explain your legacy. If you have the ideas, banks would be rushing to give you loans and you won't need to involve the Chinese.
Obaseki, if you win your second term, plan before you execute. So they said Goodluck is bad...... Buhari will be the Messiah... We all are feeling where it has taken us to . Soon lies and blames will be flying |

So the governor of a state after four good years can only point to 8 key projects in a state with 18 local government and he is still fighting to come back and some idiots too are beating chest for him to come back...
What a country of nit wits.. you guys should go and see what Jakande accomplished in Lagos in the same number of years with less budget..all this guys are a bunch of bastards..they have turned governance to nuclear science. But they are not the problem it's the useless and brainless supporters that I blame when oshiomole came to power his agenda was constructions of roads and renovations of schools and we were happy with him even though he stole. It's now obaseki's turn and his agenda is to industrialize the state and so far you can see the lists of those things he has directly or indirectly done in the state so why the bitterness towards him?there's no guarantee that ize Iyamu will continue those things and Edo really need those facilities to stand as a state. It's either the necessary evil which is obaseki or a new party and candidate should emerge from the state. 1 Like |

Didn't you see the part they said *KEY PROJECTS* Well same goes for you. Cos am talking exactly about the Key projects....in 4 years... check jakande's record in the same four years...besides he should stop claiming the modular refinery cos the state has just 1% stake in it. so who agreed to such arrangement. That's like saying I will find you something.. all governors all over Nigeria are nothing but incompetent and unpatriotic selfish thieving bastardds that know nothing about governance and can only impress foools like you... |
