The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has said the hardship in the country is blamable on the policies of the Federal Government.
Obaseki told newsmen on Sunday saying that his government has implemented several people-oriented programmes to reduce the suffering of Edo people. However, he says the people have had to endure the suffering, due to various policies that had been implemented by the Federal Government.
He listed some of the programmes to improve the lives of the people to include raising the minimum wage for workers to N70,000, introducing a free transport scheme along the routes operated by the Edo City Transport Service, extending free Wi-Fi services to public spaces, and kick-starting a state-wide feeding for the vulnerable.
