The State Taskforce Chairman on Environment, Chief Godpower Asiuwhu, who led his team and other critical stakeholders, including the capital territory development agency, who started their operations from opposite Marriam Babangida junction down to the customs check point, along the Benin Asaba expressway, had a successful outing on Tuesday, September 24th.
