Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has set up a 12-man committee to recover all state government vehicles with private individuals.
The committee was constituted during a ceremony in Benin City on Thursday.
Okpebholo gave the Kelly Okungbowa-led committee two weeks to deliver on its mandate by recovering all government-owned vehicles with private individuals.
Speaking after the inauguration of the committee, the chairman of the committee, Okungbowa, thanked the governor for the confidence reposed in the team, expressing the readiness of the members to do justice to the assignment.
He assured that all affected vehicles would be recovered within the stipulated time.
He said: “A lot of vehicles used by the past administration are missing, as those in the 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, Rt. Hon. 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 to 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. You can reach us on 08110165121.”
