Governor Monday Okpebholo has continued to demonstrate that the welfare and health needs of Edo people remain his top priority.
This commitment was evident when the Special Adviser to the Governor on Health Matters, Precious Ogboru, and the Executive Assistant to the Governor, James Iorkusah, visited the family of a woman and her newborn baby who had been detained at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH).
