He further noted that Governor Obaseki is securing the future for the people of Edo State.
According to the ardent proponent of Gov. Obaseki’s MEGA AGENDA, Hon. Enaholo Ojeifoh, “At the moment, we can boldly say we are over 10 years ahead of other States in the Power and Mining sectors in Nigeria. We can boast of and rate ourselves highly as one of the States in Nigeria that is currently blazing the trail in developing and maximizing the opportunities the solid minerals sector provides in enhancing our economic fortunes. Presently, we are developing Lithium, Gold, Limestone, Kaolin, dolomite, and Gemstones; investors are being attracted. This landmark is opening the state to job creation for our zestful teeming youths”.
In the vast landscape of economic opportunities, the solid minerals industry is a multi-billion-dollar business, which warrants earnest attention and strategic development. This sector holds the key to the future of various critical industries such as electric vehicles, smartphones, construction materials, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and more.
Governor Obaseki has emerged as a torchbearer in setting a commendable standard for others to follow. As we stand on the cusp of a transformative era, we implore all citizens of Edo and its admirers to join hands with our amiable Governor to finish strong, and safely consolidate Edo on the trajectory of irreversible progress.
