The Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo on Thursday set up a 12-man committee with the mandate to recover all vehicles belonging to the Edo State Government taken away by political appointees in the immediate past administration of Godwin Obaseki.
The committee, chaired by Kelly Okungbowa, has two weeks to discharge the mandate and ensure that government vehicles in private hands were recovered and returned to the state government.
Speaking after the inauguration, Okungbowa thanked the governor for the confidence reposed in them and expressed their readiness to carry out the assignment.
He noted that a lot of government vehicles were in private hands and the committee would ensure that they were recovered at the stipulated time.
According to Okungbowa, “A lot of vehicles used by the past administration is missing as those in custody of the vehicles have refused to return them. The governor deemed it fit to inaugurate us today with a mandate to recover all government vehicles in private hands.
“I am the chairman while my vice is the former speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly EDHA, Victor Edoror. We have our members across the three senatorial districts in Edo State and we are ready to do the job, abiding by the law.
“We want to appeal to members of the public who might be aware of anyone still keeping government vehicles in their houses to please inform us to enable the committee recover such for the Edo State Government.
“We have two weeks to carry out this task and as I speak to you, we already have some vital information regarding some persons who are still holding government vehicles. We will do the job according to the law and the state government and the people will be happy”.
