He said, “We are here reviewing what we have done and collaborations with various partners that have led to the successes we have recorded across all sectors today. We can only say that we are in the middle of a journey. We have started a process and cannot go back.

“We have shown the world that we can do it; transform ourselves and society. We’ve given our children hope. Sustainability is now what we need to focus on. As a government, we have come to realise that we are limited in resources. The bulk of our resources is not cash; it is capacity. How do you help us build our capacity? This is because without building capacity, we could slip back to where we are coming from.  For the remaining 24 months of this tenure, our main focus is on sustainability – how do we ensure we sustain what you have helped us start and entrenched so far.”NYSC portal

He was further quoted in a statement as further saying, “We have agreed to step up the relationship between Edo and Europe, particularly provinces in Italy where a large number of Edo indigenes reside. We are taking steps to make sure that by spring next year, we undertake a major roadshow to expose the opportunities we have in various areas for our young people here and how the businessmen can also come here to take advantage of the opportunities we have.”

Previously, the World Bank, UNICEF, and IOM, among others, praised Obaseki for his government’s reforms and programs, which have resulted in improved livelihoods in Edo.

The World Bank representative, Saadevadra, noted “Across the world, we’re faced with a huge challenge; we face what I describe as a silent crisis, one that we don’t see anyone dying each day but we see so many children across the world, even if they go to school, are not learning or getting the skills they require to succeed in life. That’s a challenge we have everywhere, including in Nigeria and Edo.

UNICEF’s Panday was quoted as saying, “Let me say how delighted we are at UNICEF to be partnering with Edo State. It has really been wonderful visiting various schools in the state. I have had the opportunity to travel and see schools across the country, and today, seeing the Edo example and what is possible and has been achieved here, it is really heartwarming.

De Leo, the Italian Ambassador to Nigeria, praised the state government for launching the second phase of the Managing Migration through Development Project, stating that the government will collaborate with the state on job creation, investment, and training possibilities, among other things.JAMB Result
