Edo Redeems Pledge To Young Mosaic Artist

The Edo State Government has redeemed a promise made to a young, talented mosaic artist, Aguda Oluwafemi Isaac, for the supply of beaded artwork to the state governor, after the artist impressed Governor Godwin Obaseki with his talent at an event.
An All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart and leader of the party in Edo Central, Theophilus Okoh, who presented a cheque to the artist at Government House, Benin City, said the gesture was in fulfilment of a promise made by the governor during the APC Youth Entrepreneurship Seminar and Empowerment Programme, which held in Uromi.
He said the Governor Obaseki-led administration was poised to empower youths who were skilled, intelligent and demonstrated commitment to contributing to the development of the state.
According to him, “This cheque is presented to Aguda Oluwafemi Isaac following the promise made by Governor Obaseki on April 24, 2018 during the APC Youth Entrepreneur Seminar and Empowerment Programme. The young man did something extraordinary using beads to make an image of the governor. The governor was impressed when he saw the artwork.”
Aguda thanked the governor for the gesture, noting that he was able to become a better artist through determination and hard work, as he had no political godfather to push his case before the governor.
