Governor Obaseki inspecting Federal Government/Universal Basic Education Commission proposed model school for South-South zone in Abudu, Edo State, on Tuesday
Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has decried the high spate of abandonment of projects by the Federal Government in the state.
Obaseki said it was “irresponsible” of the Federal Government to continuously leave many projects unfinished depriving the people of the opportunity to benefit from the projects.
The governor said this while speaking to newsmen after inspecting the Federal Government/Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) proposed model school for the South-South zone at Abudu in Orhionmwon Local Government Area of Edo State.
He noted that the proposed project was supposed to improve the education sector and provide school children with top-of-the-range education.
Governor Obaseki said: “This is an educational institution that is supposed to be used in training teachers to strengthen our educational system. This is supposed to have been completed but as usual when it comes to Federal Government projects, they don’t care. It’s just an irresponsible approach to development.”

Obaseki added that there was no excuse for the project to be abandoned, saying funds have been made available for its completion.
“The Korean government gave a grant and this project was supposed to have been completed over a year ago. It has been abandoned as usual.
“I just pray that this country does not continue like this. This is absolutely irresponsible,” he stated.
The governor further stated that the Edo State Government was ready to take over and complete the project for the people of the state.
“At this stage, at some point in time, if it is not completed, the state will have to just take it over, complete, and use it,” Obaseki added.
