Edo State has officially launched the New Edo Line, a modern fleet of luxury buses aimed at delivering safe, reliable, and dignified travel for residents across the state. The commissioning ceremony drew national attention with the presence of key dignitaries, including the Honourable Minister of the FCT, His Excellency Nyesom Wike, and former Edo State Governor, Senator Adams Oshiomhole.
Described as more than just a transportation project, the New Edo Line signals a powerful shift in the state’s approach to governance, service delivery, and infrastructure renewal. Designed to meet the mobility needs of students, traders, workers, and everyday commuters, the initiative is restoring safety, order, and pride in public transport, long considered a neglected sector in many parts of the country.
Speaking at the unveiling, the Edo State Governor expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose Renewed Hope Agenda has continued to catalyze development across the state. He pledged Edo’s unwavering support for the President ahead of the 2027 general elections, declaring that the state is already seeing tangible results from the federal government’s policies and interventions.
