“Dr. Kalu asked me to hit the ground running once elected and I brought him here today to show him how fast I learnt and implemented that. There is no time to take him to all the new projects to commission in the federal constituency that was why we chose three that are together to save him time and hope he will have time to tour the entire new projects soon which will take him three days to cover. Now he has commenced the commissioning, we shall continue in his absence to enable us hand over the project to the people soon.”
He assured the community that the construction of the second phase of Okporoenyi road will commence in no time adding that roads were very important to the economic elevation of the community.
