BENIN CITY— It was an ecstasy of jubilation as the Director of NIPOST Training Institute(NPI), Egor, Benin City, Dr Julius Bolade Anjorin led other management and staff of the institute on a road show to express profound gratitude to Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki for constructing the road leading from Siluko-Egor road into the institute.

The road show, which started from the administration block of the institute, was taken through the whole length of the newly-built road with the Director and the staff dancing and becoming the pleasant cynosure of the residents in the neighbourhood and traders at the Egor market, who could not help but join in frenzied dance of immense appreciation.
The musical road-show was also taken to the palace of the Enogie of Egor.

As soon as we told him to come to Edo State, he came. He met the Governor and after meeting the Governor, the road became possible.”
