Benin City, Edo State – In a significant step towards boosting the state’s entertainment infrastructure, Governor Godwin Obaseki, alongside global music icon Rema, performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Edo Arena.
The 6,000-capacity venue, aptly named ‘The Dome,’ is set to rise at the former Garrick Memorial School Ground on Ekenhuan Road.
