Key projects to be addressed include the 7.5km Temboga Road, the Lucky Way Junction by Aduwawa, and the Ramat Park-Slope Axis. Additionally, work will start on Eyaen Road and the Obadan Junction along the Benin-Auchi Expressway.

The governor assured the people of Edo that his government will prioritize their needs, focusing on providing good, motorable roads and ensuring the delivery of democratic benefits.
