“The tour will provide him with firsthand insight into the daily operations of the station, allowing him to assess its efficiency and identify the existing challenges”, it started.
The communique further indulged the support of stakeholders towards the new course to develop the region and enhance livelihood under Mr. Gunu’s administration.
