Which simply means that we are focusing on development, which is trying to put projects in the budget that will impact positively in the lives of the people.

Then we can see how we can create employment for our teaming youths and also provide employment for those who are not in an employable state.
So in all ramifications, we are bringing professionalism into governance.
And I think for anybody who wants to make significant strides in Nigeria, Edo Central will benefit immensely from the combined services of the caliber of people that Edo Central have taken to the Red Chamber.
They will benefit immensely from myself and from my Mentor from Edo North Senatorial District.
we are catalyst for change and we are ready to do that.
