PDP Promises To Invest In Education In Edo

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State has pledged to continue to invest in the education sector.
Governor Godwin Obaseki, candidate of the party in the forthcoming September 19 governorship election, made the pledge yesterday at Oloku, ward six, during the party’s campaign rally.
Obaseki said education would continue to take centre stage in the policy thrust of his administration if re-elected because of the importance of education in the society.
He noted that in the last three years and nine months, his administration had done much in revamping and redirecting the education sector in the state.
He also highlighted his administration’s achievements in other areas to include regular payment of workers’ salaries, payment of pensions, establishment of a modular refinery as well as power generation.
He noted that his administration has various plans for the state, as he was more committed to move the state forward.
Earlier, the youth leader of the APC in Oloku ward, Mr Matthew Edigierobo, defected to the PDP, citing the governor’s effort at infrastructure development as reason for deciding to join the PDP.
