Oredipe said, “Having been a public servant, a teacher, with rich experience in private businessman and politics; as commissioner, deputy chief of staff, principal executive secretary to a governor, House of Reps member and senator and now governor, it’s not surprising that His Excellency has been able to achieve a lot.”
Responding to questions, he explained that the governor had given directives for the redesign, reconstruction, and rehabilitation of some internal roads with drainages within the Yenagoa metropolis, and work would soon commence to fix them for the benefit of residents.All rights reserved.
