… As residents cheer progress

BENIN CITY — Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, on Wednesday inspected the Ikpoba Hill Flyover at Ramat Park in Benin City, Edo South Senatorial District, as the project nears completion.

The governor undertook the inspection alongside award-winning broadcast journalist, Seun Okinbaloye of Channels Television, in a move seen as part of efforts to spotlight key infrastructure developments across the state.

The visit featured a walk-through of the construction site and adjoining areas, drawing considerable public attention. Market women, commuters, and residents around Ramat Park turned out in large numbers, chanting slogans such as “Akpakomiza,” “Akpako Rescue,” and “the best governor,” in apparent endorsement of the project and the administration’s efforts.

The Ikpoba Hill Flyover, now over 90 percent completed, is a major infrastructure project expected to significantly ease traffic congestion and enhance connectivity within Benin City upon completion.
