“We have waited long enough. Thank God we are now remembered. Access to schools and health centres will improve.
“We appreciate the chairman’s effort and look forward to timely completion,” she said.
The councillor representing Ward D, Johnson Jegbe, urged residents to continue supporting government programmes.
