The Chairman, House Committee on Education, Aminu Suleiman, has described the contributions of Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, to the development of modern Nigeria has been described as unquantifiable.
Suleiman made the declaration in Benin when he led other members of the Education Committee on a courtesy visit to the governor at Government House, Benin City.
According to him, “We want to particularly thank the people of Edo State and the Government headed by you for what you have been able to achieve.
I say this because you have spent your life traversing the nooks and crannies of this country fighting for and on behalf of all Nigerians irrespective of tribe, colour, creed and religion.
“You have been a pan-Nigeria leader and at the end of the day, you accepted to come back after becoming the NLC president to become a Governor.
“To us, it is humility in display and I say this to appreciate the people of Edo State first for the confidence they repose on you”.
The committee said that it has gone round the state and have seen the developmental efforts of the state government.
“We are here and many of us are satisfied with what we saw. Those of us who are familiar with Edo State continue to wonder where you manufactured the funds to do what you are doing in the state.
“Your fight against poverty and your drive for human capital development is actually second to none in the face of zero resources, because Edo State is only an oil producing state probably by name; if the resources accruing to oil producing states are anything to go by.
