In a fundamental rights enforcement suit filed on his behalf by a Lagos-based lawyer, Olukoya Ogungbeje, the suspected kidnapper is praying for the order of court to direct the respondents to immediately charge him to court if there is any case against him in accordance with Sections 35 (1) (c) (3) (4) (5) (a) (b) and 36 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Obaseki advises against birthday adverts, says ‘donate to charity’



#ProjectEdo

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has advised against placing advertisements across the various media platforms to celebrate his 58th birthday on July 1st this year, urging friends and well-wishers, who may want to do so to donate the expenses to WeCare Trust.



In a statement endorsed by Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. John Mayaki, it was revealed that Governor Obaseki was unhappy with the rate of helpless children in the State and he had been making moves to curb the spread and rectify the social damage.



The statement read, “Governor Obaseki has been worried and taking steps to end the societal stigma of helpless children living on the streets and witnessing the worst parts of life before they have even had a chance to live. He will not rest until he has addressed this satisfactorily.



“He has met with religious leaders and has tried to upswing education in the State, he has also decided that funds that should have been directed to advertising felicitations for his birthday be donated to charity and orphanages in the State.”



The Governor’s Chief Press Secretary also stressed that it may dishearten the Governor to see celebration advertisements instead of notifications that funds had been donated to the charity organisation, calling on well-meaning Nigerians, who would not have been able to afford advertisements, to also donate to charity foundations in the State.



In particular reference, the statement recalled that WeCare Trust is a charity foundation owned by Iara Oshiomhole, wife of Former Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, adding that it is the same foundation for which Governor Obaseki ran the 10km Okpekpe Road Race.

Meanwhile, the statement explained that the Governor was also formulating policies to profile residents and visitors in the State, and that census would be taken to record demographics and help the State plan accordingly in economy, culture, security, education, and other key sectors.

Obaseki orders employment of 4,200 youths

#ProjectEdo

In line with his promise to create at least 200,000 jobs within 4 years, the Governor of Edo State, Mr Godwin Obaseki, has ordered the employment of 4,200 youths across the State under the Edo State public works programme from July 1st, this year.

In a statement endorsed by the Governor’s Chief of Staff, it was also revealed that Governor Obaseki had directed the engagement and training of 50 civil engineers to supervise the public works programme, and that the successful applicants were sourced from the database of unemployed youths developed by the government for the Edo Jobs initiative.

According to the Chief of Staff, “The new employed beneficiaries will work across the State on 45 inner roads selected under this special window. The Governor also promised to engage another set of 4,200 in August 2017 under another window that will see the State Government constructing and maintaining another set of 55 roads, culminating in almost 100 kilometres across the State.”

He further enjoined the workers to be dedicated for the period of their engagement with the State Government, as it would eventually amount to experience gathering and capacity building.

Meanwhile, to complement jobs originating from road construction, the State Government also finalised arrangements to train young electrical and electronic engineers under a special arrangement with Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC).

The programme, it emerged, would build the capacity of young men and women on the practical side of electrical engineering in line with the ‘Electrify Edo project’, which kicked off with the signing of a power purchase agreement between the government and, at different times, Siemens AG and Ossiomo Power limited, few months ago.
