Okpebholo Targets 20-Kilometre Completion on Benin-Asaba Dual Carriage Way by December

Published

on

Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo on Wednesday, undertook a comprehensive inspection tour of critical infrastructure projects across Benin City, and declared them as tangible fruits of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

During the inspection, Mr. K. V. Rao, Project Director for Africa Plus Partners and the Benin-Asaba Expressway Concession Company Limited, assured that about 20 kilometres of the dual-carriage 10 lane expressway, would be completed before the Christmas of 2025.

Governor Okpebholo’s inspection highlighted the monumental expansion of the Benin-Asaba expressway, the reconstruction of Amufi Road, and the ongoing flyover construction at Ramat Park, all poised to redefine connectivity and economic vibrancy in the region.

The centrepiece of the inspection was the ambitious Benin-Asaba expressway, a project Governor Okpebholo hailed as a cornerstone of President Tinubu’s vision.

Governor Okpebholo, visibly impressed by the progress and the scale of the project, articulated the federal government’s commitment to delivering on its promises.

According to him, “Well, this is part of the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President. He is taking this road straight to Asaba. It is going to be 10 lanes. Five on one side, five on the other side.”

The Governor further underscored the project’s significance as a direct outcome of high-level government engagements.

“Remember when this road was flagged off a few months ago, the Minister for Works was here. The Minister for Finance was also here. And I was here. This is the fruit of that flag-off. And this is the demonstration of Mr. President’s Renewed Hope Agenda for our people,” he pointed out.

Beyond the expressway, the Governor also reviewed the progress on Amufi Road in the Agbor Road area, which connects four communities (Amufi, Okpagha, Iyanomo, and Egiekpe Communities).

Governor Okpebholo also reviewed the progress on the vital flyover project at Ramat Park.

These urban infrastructural developments are set to complement the expressway, alleviating traffic bottlenecks and enhancing the daily lives of Benin City residents.

Rio explained that, “What is currently going on right now is a palliative work to divert the entire traffic on the right-hand side of the road.”

He then unveiled the exciting timeline, “Real work is going to commence on August 5th, 2025.”

This “real work,” he elaborated, “will transform the existing road into a ten-lane, featuring two main carriageways with two lanes left, two lanes right, and two dedicated service roads on both sides.”

The Governor’s inspection served as a powerful declaration that the “Renewed Hope Agenda” is not just a slogan but a blueprint for tangible development, with the people of Edo State ready to be among its primary beneficiaries.
