Edo NUJ Inspects Obaseki’s projects, lauds his giant strides
By Elvis Omoregie
In a bid to ascertain and verify all already completed and ongoing projects being executed by the governor Godwin Obaseki led administration for the past 6 years and half in Edo State, members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Edo state council, led by Mr. Festus Alenkhe have embarked on a media tour just as they lauded his giant strides.
He said the essence of the media tour was to give Journalists firsthand knowledge of what they have been reporting about the government’s activities.
Alenkhe said most times, Journalists report based on press releases issued out by the government and are not privy to have had a firsthand information of all its activities.
The NUJ chairman said with the media tour of government’s activities, Journalists in the state can now adequately inform the public on government’s activities as it relates to infrastructural projects in the state.
“We want to eye mark and not earmark. We have been hearing about the government’s activities but today, we think it is appropriate we also see for ourselves and that is what we call eye-marking and not earmarking.
“We believe that if we have a firsthand knowledge of what government is doing without we get to know it from its press releases, it will enable us inform and educate the public appropriately.
“The tour will also help us to point out the areas that needed government’s attentions if need be”, he said.
Commending the state government, a youth leader in Abudu community in Orhionmwon local government area of the state, Luke Asemota, said the governor is a man of foresight.
He said it takes courage and willingness for the governor to have sited a world class college of education in their community Abudu in Orhionmwon local government area of Edo state.
“We the entire youths of Abudu and members of this community are very grateful to the governor, Godwin Obaseki for siting this project here in our community”.
“I want to use this opportunity to urge him to formally open up the school so that academic work can really begin.
“We will remain grateful to him for so many years to come for what he has done for us.
“If you take a look around the community you will see other laudable projects being done by this government.
“We have Edo state High Court that is ongoing coupled with UBEC primary and secondary school sited along the old Esigie Demonstration as well as the Staff Quarters for Judges and Judicial Workers all in the community.”
The visit however afforded many journalists the opportunity to see for themselves some of the projects carried out by governor Godwin Obaseki including a world class College of Education center built and completed in Abudu community with the state of the art facilities by governor Godwin Obaseki led administration.
Other projects visited, are, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Camp Okada, Ovia North East, Edo State Polytechnic, Usen, Ovia South West, University of Benin, Ovia North East, Government Science and Technological College Egor, College of Agriculture, Iguoriakhi, Ovia South West all in Edo state

The president of Pentecostal Ministers Forum of Nigeria,PMF, bishop Chidi Anthony has criticised the governor of Anambra state, Charles Soludo for placing a ban on market evangelism and preaching on the streets Anambra
Bishop Anthony was enraged and infuriated by Soludo’s daring and audacious move against men of God and preachers of the gospel in Anambra state “as the president of Pentecostal Ministers Forum of Nigeria, there’s no better time to speak than now, we were commanded to go into the world and preach the gospel without limitations, it’s a pity that Soludo has decided to fight the Almighty God that gave him breath,he must have read or heard of the story ofNebuchadnezzar who refused to acknowledge the supremacy of God,if Solodu truly acknowledges God as the creator of the entire universe and his own creator,who can take life out of someone at any time he wishes,he would not have made such obnoxious law against the people of God:Soludo is indirectly in contest with God without knowing”
He advised him to abolish the law with immediate effect because it’s capable of ruining and devastating everything he has ever achieved “governor Soludo God is a patient and a merciful, you need to stop that law from taking effect so that the wrath of God will not be kindled against you, don’t be an enemy of God because it will lead you to unforgettable and everlasting regret ”
Finally, he recapitulated that nobody can stop the gospel of Jesus Christ because those that tried to stop it never ended well “my dear governor,you need to retrace your steps and stop fighting the gospel, look at those that built titanic,they believed it was indestructible and nothing could ever happen to it until it wrecked, the supremacy of God can’t be questioned and no mortal can face his wrath,as the president of PMF, I’m appealing to you,to abolish that law because one day your tenure will be over and you will become an ordinary man, we were happy when you became the governor because we believed that you’re a good Christian, please retrace your steps “.
