During the session, Governor Obaseki praised members of the State Executive Council for their dedication in helping to realize his vision of making Edo great again.
He also expressed his gratitude to the people of the state for their support, prayers, and collaboration, which he credited with the success of his administration across various sectors.
Council members took turns eulogizing the Governor, acknowledging his achievements in education, the economy, agriculture, power, and infrastructure, among other areas.
They also thanked him for the opportunity to serve, noting that the reforms and projects under his leadership had positively impacted the lives of Edo people, positioning the state as a model of growth and development for others to emulate.
As the session drew to a close, outgoing commissioners and heads of ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) presented awards and gifts to Governor Obaseki, honoring his exemplary leadership. The evening concluded with a dinner held in the Governor’s honor.
