Breaking News: Good Governance Tour Team Storm Edo; Gov Oshiomole Snubs Team


Reports reaching yours sincerely is that the Good Governance Tour Team (GGTT) Led by minister of information, Labaran Maku, stormed Edo state few hours ago. 
The team arrived the state as part of its ongoing physical inspection of federal, state and local govt projects across the 36 states and FCT.


Reports has it that in keeping with its earlier opposition to the Good Governance Tour programme, the state governor, Adams Oshiomole, shunned the team. This is the first time a state govt is shunning the GGTT. Already, the GGTT have been to 14 states, including APGA and CPC controlled states. There are also reports that the state owned media organisation has been used to discredit the GGT programme prior to arrival of the team today.


Even without the support of state govt, the GGTT have proceeded to begin inspection of federal govt projects. Among projects slated for inspection today is the re-modelled Benin Airport, the re-construction of Benin-Ore road among other roads and facilities within the University of Benin Teaching Hospital. Inspection of other FG (and state if the governor changes his mind) projects will continue for 3 days after which the visit will, as usual, culminate in a Town Hall Meeting.
