Edo State Commissioner for Education Dr. Washington Osifo has led an inspection tour across Benin metropolis schools to monitor academic resumption, coinciding with the state securing eight honors at the 2026 Nigeria eGovernment Awards.
Visiting schools across Oredo, Egor, and Ikpoba-Okha local government areas, the Commissioner expressed satisfaction with teacher attendance, student decorum, and orderly classroom environments.
Dr. Osifo reaffirmed Governor Monday Okpebholo's commitment to educational welfare, noting ongoing infrastructure revamps across basic and secondary institutions in the state.
In a parallel development, Governor Okpebholo was named eGovernment Governor of the Year (Digital Transformation) in Lagos, where Edo State clinched eight awards highlighting institutional digitalization and public service efficiency.
State officials noted that these digital advancements complement massive grassroots healthcare reforms, which have seen the construction and renovation of 61 Primary Healthcare Centres across all 18 LGAs with free maternal services.
