“With the level of work done by the company in recent, I am ok with all the development initiatives so far.
As I tour the facilities this morning, I am very much grateful to the company for the developmental initiatives,” he said.
“This school is going to save many of our brothers in this district who don’t have the means to seek further education away from Kokoyah District. As I listened to your concerns to the company, we will set up a committee to work on your issues for the betterment of our citizens and the company.
“You elected us to advocate on your behalf as we also always do. Don’t allow the problem to escalate before calling upon us. We will work with the minister to make sure that the committee is set up to review your concerns,” Hon. Hills, a representative of the district also toured the ongoing facility being constructed by the company.
