Emeka Sampson, constituent, told select journalists who visited the construction site on Tuesday, that he was particularly happy because the lawmaker announced during his programme, ‘Meet Your Member of Parliament’ 10 days ago, that he wrote to the state government on the dilapidated state of some roads in the constituency.
Sampson said: “He told us that in the next couple of days, work would commence on some of the roads. True to what he said, work is ongoing now. We have never had this kind of representative before. We thank God for blessing us with a proactive leader.”
