Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, at the weekend, said his government, in the last six years, has reset the state, placing it on the path of sustainable growth and development.
Speaking after teeing off the 2022 Alaghodaro Golf Tournament at the Benin Club Golf Course, Benin, Edo State, Obaseki said: “The ball is close to where we want to get it and in everything we have done, from education, sports, healthcare and in terms of restructuring the engine of government, which is the civil service, I believe six years is enough to set a new direction. “As we wind down our administration, emphasis will now be on how to ensure that when we leave office, our reforms will be sustained.
As a state, we will always progress, that is why we have Alaghodaro.” On the golf tournament, Obaseki said, “golf is a game to determine if a person is focused, patient or honest.
I love golf because it helps you focus. In golf, you keep your eyes on the ball. “What is important in the game of golf is your ability to concentrate and strike that ball and put it where you want it to be.
