A Promise Kept

“The Governor insisted on the immediate fulfillment of his promise,” Okungbowa stated, expressing confidence in Ms. Evbuomwan’s capacity to continue her father’s commitment to hard work.
A New Chapter for Ms. Evbuomwan
Ms. Evbuomwan has been appointed as a Scientific Officer in the Health Management Agency. She has pledged to work as diligently as her father did, to be a dependable civil servant for the growth and progress of Edo State.
“This is not just an employment for me but an honor to my family,” she said, acknowledging the recognition of her late father’s service. She expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Governor Okpebholo for the opportunity.
Remembering Kaduna Eboigbodin
The late Kaduna Eboigbodin was a well-known labor leader and civil activist. His life was tragically cut short following a confrontation with police officers at a roadblock. His contributions to the state will always be remembered. His legacy of fighting for workers’ rights is continued through this gesture by the Governor.
What This Means for Edo State
This act by the Edo State Government highlights a commitment to not only honoring the promises made to its citizens but also celebrating and remembering public servants that dedicate their lives to the state. It further shows the importance of government officials being close to the people and responding with empathy when needed.
This is a unique way of showing that the government is human and willing to help those who have served the state selflessly, even after their time has passed.
