Edo Line, the state government-owned transport company, is expected to commence operations starting June 27, 2025.
This was announced on Tuesday by Governor Monday Okpebholo, according to a press statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Fred Itua, following the governor’s inspection of facilities at the company’s new terminal in Benin City.
Governor Okpebholo, who personally assessed the progress at the New Edo Line station, expressed satisfaction with the level of preparedness.
“I’ve just come to look at the work going on here at the New Edo Line station. The vehicles are ready. Everything is set. We are trying to see how we can commence. The idea is to assess our level of preparation for the start of operations,” the governor stated.
The Managing Director of the Edo State Transport Authority, Oligbe Henshaw, also affirmed the terminal’s readiness.
“This is the state terminal for New Edo Line Nigeria Ltd. And by the special grace of God, on the 27th of June this year, we shall be commencing operations properly,” Henshaw said.
He added that ongoing projects at the terminal — including partitioning, CCTV installation, and the control room — would be completed by next week Friday.
