Obaseki sets stage for handover, establishes transition committee

Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has taken a proactive step towards a smooth handover of power, inaugurating a 20-member transition committee four months ahead of the end of his administration.

Obaseki inaugurated the committee at the EXCO Chambers, in Government House, Benin City, with some members of the committee joining virtually.

The governor said, “Today is the 11th of July, 2024 and it will mark exactly four months to the day I will hand over government to the next elected governor of Edo State. As it’s global best practice, I am putting together a transition team that would have the responsibility to document the achievement of this administration in the last eight years.
