During an inspection visit to EBS facilities, Governor Okpebholo emphasized the importance of professionalism in media operations, urging staff to exercise boldness in holding his administration accountable, including constructive criticism when necessary.
The Governor, accompanied by top government officials, conducted an unscheduled visit to EBS, where he was guided through the station’s premises by its Managing Director, Suleiman Aledeh, and other senior staff. Governor Okpebholo reiterated his commitment to fostering an environment where state media can thrive while remaining impartial and professional.
In addition to his visit to EBS, the Governor also inspected ongoing road projects, including the Upper Mission Extension by Aduwawa Junction, Obadan Junction on the Benin-Auchi Expressway, and Upper Ekenwan Road. These projects align with his administration’s broader agenda to improve infrastructure and boost development across Edo State.
He said his administration will source for other alternatives for electricity supply, including opting for solar energy or the purchase of generators, as the station is presently experiencing epileptic power supply

“You outlined your problems to me, and today I am here to see the challenges facing the station myself. I have seen the challenges facing the station. No electricity, bad roads, and many more. We will look at how to solve the problems.
“The problem here must be solved. This is Edo State government property and the property of Edo people. The station must have equal rights like other property of the state government. It renders services to Edo people.
“Coming here today, the road is in bad shape, and this is not acceptable. I have seen for myself. You don’t have a studio. It is either we rebuild or renovate it.
“I will call the MD of OSSIMO power plant because I know you pay for the services rendered to you and if he is not ready, we will look for a reliable energy source to power the station.
“We will look at solar power systems and also consider giving you brand new generators. We want the station to keep running 24 hours a day
“Just as I told you in the secret, I am telling you now in the open to criticize me when I am going wrong because I am here to serve Edo people,” Governor Okpebholo noted.
On his part, the EBS MD, Suleiman Aledeh, who welcomed the Governor to the premises of the State-owned media organization, said the station faces several challenges that the Governor is capable of solving.

“You gave us the mandate to drive the station not as a government mouthpiece but a private concern that competes with every other media organization around the world.”
On the ongoing road projects, Governor Okpebholo said he will continue to monitor ongoing them across the State with the aim of putting contractors on their toes to finish such projects before commencement of the rainy season.
The Governor noted that his administration is ready for practical governance, ensuring Edo people enjoy the dividends of democracy.
He added that with the level and quality of work done so far, his administration will achieve its target within the next two weeks.
“With continuous monitoring, we are getting results. You can see the volume of work being done here at the Obadan Junction Benin-Auchi Express Way. I believe that between now and two weeks, the desired goal will be achieved.
