The Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, on Wednesday inspected the ongoing construction of the Ikpoba Hill Flyover at Ramat Park in Edo South, alongside award-winning broadcast journalist, Seun Okinbaloye of Channels Television.

The inspection, part of efforts to highlight key infrastructure projects across the state, featured a guided tour of the site and adjoining areas.

The visit attracted widespread public attention, as market women, commuters, and residents around Ramat Park expressed enthusiasm over the project. Many were seen chanting slogans such as “Akpakomiza,” “Akpako Rescue,” and “the best governor,” in apparent appreciation of the administration’s developmental strides.

Observers note that the presence of a prominent national media figure underscores the government’s strategic push to enhance visibility for ongoing projects, while allowing progress on the ground and public response to serve as indicators of performance.

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