According to Philip Shaibu, Deputy Governor of Edo State: “Today, I carried out inspection of some projects embarked on by our government, including the 170-room Raddison Hotel, State CID Road and the Museum of West African Art (MOOWA) — all located within the Government Reservation Area (GRA), Benin City.

“At the Radisson Hotel, my team and I were led on a guided tour of the facilities — including the standard rooms to expansive executive suites, presidential suite, lobby bar and café, ballroom, restaurant, pool bar and grill, gym and spa — by the project manager, Engr. Samuel Adeyemi, where the contractor assured the completion of the first phase of the project by November this year.
While expressing satisfaction with the level of work done in the last few months, estimated at 52 per cent by the contractors, Shapoorji Pallonji Construction Company, I emphasized the importance of adhering to the timeline and delivering standrad and quality job.
I equally monitored the progress of work done and engaged the contractor on-site at the State CID (concrete) Road, GRA, with underground and surface drainage systems, while rounding off my tour at the MOOWA, where I was led on a guided tour of the facilities including the storage facilities, laboratories for conservation, digital production, and archaeology.”
