- From Usman A. Bello, Benin

The Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole has appealed to the Federal Government to fix the failed portions of the BeninEkpom­a-Auchi-Okene highway which has become a nightmare to motorists in the state.

Oshiomhole said this during a visit to the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola .

Governor Oshiomhole said the last government which worked on the road left it far worse than they met it.

“Right now, I have difficulty going home to my village because of what your predecesso­r did. The truth is that if the road wasn’t touched at all, it would have been better than it is now,” he said.
