The commissioners for Edo States Ministries, Commission for Energy and Water Resources and Commissioner for Science and Innovation both made a scheduled visit to the Centre in a bid to strengthen the ministries collaboration with the Centre. The Ministries believe that the Centre is well positioned to aid in the advancement of the State, in Energy and Environment related matters through the Ministries.

After the meeting at the Centre, the team made a trip to sites where seems to be geo-thermal activities in two communities both of Ovia North-West of the State. These are wells dug under Government Intervention Project and were discovered to produce water at elevated temperatures. The Ministry therefore seeks optimum application for these boreholes.
