A man identified as Emmanuel S Agbogun, has taken to social media to
raise an alarm about an environmental problem and also criticize former
governor of Edo state, Adams Oshiomhole.
The aggrieved man
blasted the ex-governor and present chairman of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) after the storm water project which was reportedly
constructed with N30 billion during his tenure, collapsed and has become
a problem for residents of Benin city.
It is claimed that the project was constructed with substandard materials.
In
2012, Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State said the erosion and flood problems
in Benin City will soon be a thing of the past with the completion of
the storm water project.
The former governor stated this during
an inspection of work on the 13 ft deep channel being constructed on the
New Lagos road to link the canal o the Five Junction to the canal on
the Traditional Ground.
According to Oshiomhole, ” I am satisfied
with the on-going construction. It is good work. We have to re-claim
the moat to enable us construct a canal here to serve as a receptacle
for erosion coming from different points”. While assuring the people of
the state of government’s resolve to tackle erosion problems in the
state, he urged the construction firm to speed up the work.
