“I want to use this opportunity to appreciate you for the wonderful support you have given to the Nwifuru administration. You have done well so far, but there is room for improvement.

“The next round of elections is around the corner.There is a need for you to start mobilizing the people to improve their participation in the political space.

“These are signature projects of this administration,” they concluded.
