“I am excited with the completion of the house, since it was a project from our Area Development Committee Development Plans which we presented to the council,” he said.

He said following the provision of accommodation to a community development assistant, it is expected that the area will be served as is expected.

He, therefore, called upon community members to own the house and carry out maintenance works on it if need be for it to last long.
