The Executive Chairman, Etsako East local government area, Hon. (Mrs) Benedicta Ebuehi, listens with interest as the Leader of the Edo State Government Special Projects Media Tour, Hon. Jack Obinyan briefs her

The Executive Chairman of Etsako East local government area, Hon. (Mrs) Benedicta Ebuehi has appealed to the Edo state government to construct the road linking Okpella to Ivie and Agenebode.
She stated this while playing host to the Edo State Government Special Projects Media Tour team which paid a courtesy visit to her in her office.
While stressing the importance of the road, she told the team that they took the long route because the Okpella-Ivie-Agenebode road is not motorable.
"You see the way you came now, you came through two local government areas;...you came from Okpella through Etsako West, through Etsako Central before you got here," the Chairman explained.
"But there is a straight road that comes from Okpella. If that road is fixed, it won't take you more than 15 minutes to get here. But the road is not good.
"Sometimes you that is travelling with a vehicle, you will be on the way, somebody using okada from Okpella (through Ivie) will get here and you will still be on the road.
"...the road is not motorable. That is the road that connects the whole local government area, because we have three zones - Okpella zone, Ivie zone and Wanno zone where you have Agenebode.
"That road is very principal to us as a local government. This is just to remind him (Governor) about the road. It is not a road that the local government can handle."
Hon. Ebuehi said her administration was opening up more communities through grading of more roads especially now that the dry season is here.
"We are just trying now to grade more roads and open up more communities and since there is dry season now we have captured three roads in each Ward - and we have 10 Wards, that is 30 roads - at least to bring palliative measures to the people," she said.
"We were able to provide a transformer for the people of Awuyemi in Ward 5, Okpella, who had been without electricity for over a year. The light was switched on on December 24, before Christmas."
Members of the Media Tour and officials of Etsako East display the 4+4 sign as an expression of confidence in and support for the Executive Governor of Edo state, His Excellency, Godwin Obaseki for a second term

The Head of the tour team, Hon. Jack Obinyan, who is the Senior Special Assistant on Digital Media to the Governor, had earlier briefed the Chairman about their tour of projects across the state covering key areas like education, health and others.

  By Suleiman Ugbokhe Pa Akubo Yakubu Esuka, the Ódegbé of Imiegba Imiegba Community, Three Ivie Clan in Etsako East local government area was in a celebration mode on Sunday, December 27, 2020, when the indigenes both home and abroad joined the children of Pa Akubo Yakubu Esuka to celebrate his enthronement as the Ódegbé of Imiegba. Pa. Akubo Yakubu Esuka was born to the family of Mr. Esuka and Madam Ogenikho about 104 years ago in Imiegba. In his quest for a better life, he left his birth place, Imiegba, in 1944, with his maternal uncle, Pa Etsekhumhe Ogweli for Minna where he did manial jobs for some time before he left for Kaduna with a single mission: To join the army. But it turned out to be mission impossible as Pa Akubo was not accepted into the army "for reasons I don't know," he says. "I then proceeded to Kano from Kaduna with the hope of securing a job. I was still not able to get a job." As the saying goes, 'no place like home,' Pa Akubo had ...

One Year After ... Hon. Princess Benedicta Ebuehi Remains The Toast Of Etsako East People

By Suleiman Ugbokhe Hon. Princess Benedicta Ebuehi, Former Executive Chairman, Etsako East Local Government Area It is one year now since Hon. Princess Benedicta Ebuehi left office as the Executive Chairman of Etsako East local government area, a position she stepped into when the then helmsman, Aremiyau Momoh (Mbakwe), under whom she was the vice chairman, was removed from office by the state government two years into the three-year tenure. On assuming office as Executive Chairman, Princess Benedicta left no one in doubt that she was coming into office to serve the people of Etsako East local government area, and not to canonise, imperialise herself as was the case before her. One of the first things she did to demonstrate her people-oriented policy was the purchase and installation of a transformer at Awuyemi (Ward 5), to end years of darkness in that part of Okpella. It is very easy to gloss over this achievement but when the socioeconomic ripple effects of restoring power supply t...
