By addressing transportation challenges, he said he has not only facilitated ease of movement but also boosted economic activities within the communities.

In the realm of education, Okpebholo said he has made a lasting impact by offering scholarships to deserving students. 

By alleviating financial constraints, he has enabled numerous young individuals to pursue their academic dreams, reflecting his belief in the transformative power of education.

He said his access to clean water has been another priority, disclosing that he has funded the construction of boreholes in various communities within Edo Central to enable residents have reliable access to safe drinking water.

In his public addresses, Senator Okpebholo highlighted the stark contrast between his achievements and those of the current governor, who has been in office for eight years.
