Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has immortalized the late Senator Franca Afegbua, Nigeria’s first elected female Senator.

Obaseki, at the service of songs held in honour of late Senator Afegbua in Benin City, described her as an Amazon and a worthy ambassador of the state.

The governor named the Ogiriga-Afokpella-Okugbe Road after the Senator who represented Bendel North Senatorial District of the Old Bendel State.
