A CHIEFTAIN of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State, Armstrong ’Tope Akintunde, has hailed Governor Dapo Abiodun for running an all-inclusive government with the recent appointment made into boards of parastatals and agencies.

He said he was confident that those appointed would bring their wealth of experiences to bear in making life more enjoyable for the people.

Akintunde gave this commendation while speaking with reporters in Abeokuta.

Akintunde, the Chief Executive Officer of Aerofield Homes, was also full of praise for the governor over his administration’s effort towards promoting Adire fabric on the global stage with the launch of Adire Ogun Digital Market.

He said the initiative would lead to increase in access to buying the Adire fabric from anywhere in the world and bring about job creation and economic prosperity to the state.

He said  ”I am really glad with how Governor Abiodun has gone with the appointment of people into boards of agencies and commission. He has picked them across party divides, lending credence to his promise to run a government of inclusion.

“The governor has equally latched on the abundant talented youths, giving many of them the opportunity to contribute to his agenda of “Building our Future Together” by appointing them as members of these boards.

“I really commend the governor for the confidence reposed in these people and I am  confident that these people will also do their best to support the governor in lifting the state higher.”

Akintunde praised Governor Abiodun for leveraging on technology to make quality Adire fabric, which is traditionally made in the state and will now be available all over the world with the launch of Adire Ogun Digital Market.

The transformation of UNIBEN’s campus

Ekehuan Campus of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) was neglected for many years by successive administrations in the institution. However, the story has changed as the campus has witnessed a transformation, reports IFUNANYA OSAKWE (UNIBEN).   The Ekehuan Campus of the University of Benin was the first campus of the institution in Edo State when it was founded in 1970. From the Ekehuan campus, it moved to Ugbowo Campus, which is the permanent site. As a result of this movement, the Ekehuan Campus, which houses the Mass Communication Department, Fine Art Department, Theatre Arts Department, Early Childhood Education Department and Public Administration Department suffered neglect for many years.

Edo Museum of West African Art

The Benin Kingdom is known for its arts, many of which are scattered in museums around the world. The Edo State government’s decision to establish the museum of West African art will further the state’s image, writes Robert Egbe   On Friday, November 13, Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki announced a post-COVID-19 recovery plan to strengthen the public sector. But perhaps the most interesting component of his proposal was the announcement of a new partnership that seeks to return Edo State to its competitive advantage many centuries ago, and establish the Edo Museum of West African Art (EMOWAA).
