“We will be grateful to him and let it be one of the rural engagements we will have. He is doing well in the capital city, so let him extend the work to the rural areas as more people are living in the rural areas now than in the urban centres.
“We also thank Chris Nwa-Abia, who has initiated this operation zero-pothole in Ohuhu with this company, N12 Asphalt. If the governor can assist Nwa-Abia, he will expand the scope of the rehabilitation to take care of some other failed portions of our roads. We are grateful to Nwa-Abia and if this is done, we will thank the governor the more”, The royal father said.
