Shaibu took to social media platform X after the projects tour and wrote: Today, I carried out inspection of some projects embarked on by our government, including the 170-room Raddison Hotel, State CID Road and the Museum of West African Art (MOOWA) — all located within the Government Reservation Area (GRA), Benin City.

At the Radisson Hotel, my team and I were led on a guided tour of the facilities — including the standard rooms to expansive executive suites, presidential suite, lobby bar and café, ballroom, restaurant, pool bar and grill, gym and spa — by the project manager, Engr. Samuel Adeyemi, where the contractor assured the completion of the first phase of the project by November this year.

While expressing satisfaction with the level of work done in the last few months, estimated at 52 per cent by the contractors, Shapoorji Pallonji Construction Company, I emphasized the importance of adhering to the timeline and delivering standrad and quality job.

I equally monitored the progress of work done and engaged the contractor on-site at the State CID (concrete) Road, GRA, with underground and surface drainage systems, while rounding off my tour at the MOOWA, where I was led on a guided tour of the facilities including the storage facilities, laboratories for conservation, digital production, and archaeology.

@Chiefudo So that’s means Obaseki is working?

@iammegaken I thought you people said Obaseki didn’t do anything

@ImaredonJ You have been lying against Governor Obaseki. You are so useless

@remagirlfriend Which our government are you talking about sir?

@ArkynPaul Clowns ….Next is Education hub and Agric hub then u can go n check Stella Obasanjo then post it online using EdoNet

@Ton3832 Shameless man, you said Obaseki didn’t do anything for his people, which projects are you monitoring? Since morning you never still reach office?

@ernieno You are a shameless human. How can you talk about OUR government, the government you betrayed

@lecomtephyn See people that said obaseki didn’t do any work going around to monitor said projects

@Mr_Royal_E Jobless guy, and u campaign against ur administration say ur boss no work but u dey monitor work wa ur boss do. Politics makes us act shamelessly. But check mate yourself u are becoming a serial betrayer.

@westisaiah Is it same governor that you said he is not working, same governor that you said Edo have rejected, same governor you rubbish and tarnished his image on a National TV. My fellow Edolite the problem they’ve with obaseki has nothing to do with performance but personal.

@PedroIremu1 Obaseki is a silent archiver his only mistake was he didn’t publicize his achievement like his foes. He wasn’t even commissioning his projects he beliefs is a waste of public funds that really hurt him.
